C++ engineer factory simulation

The team is developing a co-op factory simulation game built in Unreal Engine 5, with a self-contained simulation written in raw C++.

• Design and build a deterministic factory simulation that scales to hundreds of thousands of player-placed buildings
• Own the simulation architecture, including data layout, tick model, threading, and serialisation format
• Work with the Networking Engineer to design the simulation and co-op together
• Set and meet the simulation’s CPU performance budget on the minimum specification target
• Review code and mentor other engineers on C++ and architecture

• Experience architecting, implementing, and maintaining performant modules in professional C++ environments, including modules built on by other engineers
• Deep knowledge of data-oriented design, multithreading, and performance, including CPU profiling and algorithmic complexity analysis for selecting data structures
• Experience building a deterministic or lockstep system, or the ability to explain an approach to one
• A track record of mentoring engineers and documenting architectural decisions for others to follow and challenge
• Будет плюсом: 2+ shipped game titles, experience with a factory, automation, or simulation-heavy game, experience with Unreal Engine, especially Mass Entity or a custom ECS in Unreal

• Fully remote; direct employment is available only inside Germany
• Flexible working hours
• Paid overtime on the rare occasions it occurs
• Hardware budget for an ergonomic setup and necessary hardware
• Monthly personal growth allowance for courses, books, or other learning materials
• Focus days for researching or learning new skills
• Yearly team gathering to meet and collaborate in person
• Yearly salary review and an automatic 2% annual increase
