Engineering Generalist

At Blind Squirrel Games, making great games is only the beginning. Blind Squirrel Games is a proud, independent studio that joins forces with developers and publishers seeking an innovative partner in creating quality games. At BSG, our people are our purpose, so we prioritize an inquisitive, proactive, and collaborative work environment for all our Squirrels.

We currently have studio locations in Irvine, California;
Austin, Texas, Auckland, New Zealand, & an upcoming new studio in Manizales, Colombia!

Skills and experience are highly valued at BSG, but we recognize that talent is a product of hard-work, resilience, and a growth-mindset. We champion individuals who have demonstrated they have the grit necessary to overcome challenges and subscribe to the notion that inclusion breeds synergy and innovation. To us, diversity isn't a metric—it's a must!

This is a full-time position based in Manizales, Colombia, with a fulltime onsite requirement at the studio 's campus.

You've familiarized yourself with the ins-and-outs of game development through professional and/or independent work and are confident in your understanding of the engineering pipeline. You have a solid programming skillset but are ready to challenge yourself by starting to take on more responsibilities and larger projects within your specialization.

You may have worn a couple of different hats during your early years in the industry, but you've narrowed down your focus and are fixed on harnessing what you've learned and what you will learn to launch your career as an Engineering Generalist. You are collaborative, open-minded, and enjoy being a part of a team. You can take direction and feedback, are not afraid to ask questions, and understand the value of autonomous work.
