Gameplay Programmer

The Role

We're looking for a talented Gameplay Programmer to build the next generation of Cinnamon games.

This role is specifically aimed at senior gameplay programmers from outside the Roblox ecosystem.

You'll create systems, mechanics and features experienced by millions of players worldwide while working closely with artists, designers and founders.

This is primarily a programming role focused on gameplay systems, multiplayer features, progression systems, optimisation and technical problem-solving.

No Roblox experience is required.

We're particularly interested in developers from Unreal Engine, Unity and proprietary engine backgrounds who are looking for a new challenge.

If you've spent years building gameplay systems, multiplayer features, AI, networking, tools or large‑scale game systems, we'd love to hear from you.

What matters most is strong engineering ability, problem‑solving skills and a willingness to learn. Roblox is different from traditional game development and some parts of the platform can feel unconventional at first, but we've found great developers adapt quickly.

As a small team, every programmer has a direct impact on the quality and success of our games.

• Design and develop gameplay systems, mechanics and core game features
• Build scalable systems supporting large live multiplayer games
• Develop progression, economy and player engagement systems

• Experience working on shipped games
• Ability to learn new technologies and workflows quickly
• Excellent communication skills
• Passion for building great games and player experiences
• Full‑time availability or contract with intent to transition to full‑time
• UK‑based and able to work remotely

Experience with Unreal Engine, Unity, proprietary engines, Roblox, multiplayer games, live service games, networking, optimisation or large‑scale online experiences is highly valued.

• UK Remote
• Flexible working
• Company pension
• Opportunity to work on games played by millions of players worldwide
• Significant ownership and autonomy
