Video Game Developer

Work follows U.S. business hours. A remote game development team is hiring a developer to build, iterate on, and maintain game projects in both Unity and Godot.

• Convert design concepts into gameplay mechanics, systems and interactions, taking features from prototype to finished version.
• Find and fix bugs, performance problems and technical debt, and optimize systems for target platforms.
• Document game systems, scripts and architecture decisions so teammates can maintain the work.
• Coordinate with designers and artists through written updates and focused check-ins, and flag blockers early.

• Hands-on professional or portfolio experience developing games in both Unity and Godot.
• Strong C# skills for Unity, plus GDScript or C# experience in Godot.
• Shipped games or a strong portfolio showing finished work.
• Working knowledge of game architecture, including state machines, component systems, scene management and input handling.
• Experience with Git and collaborative branching workflows.
• Clear written English for technical discussions and documentation.
