Senior Game Developer​/Lead Game Engineer

OMRE Virtual World is an ambitious project to build a persistent, shared digital civilization where millions of people can live, communicate, work, own properties, operate businesses, explore cities, and participate in a functioning virtual society.

Unlike traditional games, OMRE Virtual World will be a continuously evolving environment with real-time multiplayer interactions, persistent identities, a virtual economy, transportation, realistic cities, dynamic weather, and AI-powered systems.

Our vision is to create an accessible virtual world that operates across web browsers, mobile devices, and desktop computers.

We are looking for a highly experienced Senior Game Developer / Lead Game Engineer who can help architect, develop, optimize, and scale this next-generation virtual world.

• Lead development using Godot 4.
• Design modular game architecture for a persistent virtual world.
• Develop reusable systems for world management, rendering, physics, movement, interactions, and animation.
• Build cross-platform systems supporting browsers, Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, and Linux.
• Evaluate and integrate appropriate open-source technologies.
• Create scalable foundations for future 3D expansion.

• Develop large, interconnected virtual cities and environments.
• Implement terrain systems, buildings, interiors, roads, vegetation, and interactive objects.
• Build procedural generation tools and automated environment pipelines.
• Implement streaming, chunk loading, level of detail, and asset management.
• Develop day/night cycles, weather effects, and environmental animations.
• Optimize worlds for low-end devices and browsers.

• Implement real-time multiplayer systems.
• Design client-side multiplayer synchronization.
• Implement entity interpolation, prediction, reconciliation, and lag compensation.
• Work with backend engineers on authoritative server architecture.
• Support dynamic world instances, spatial partitioning, and interest management.
• Develop multiplayer features for avatars, properties, objects, vehicles, and interactions.
• Engineer reliable reconnection and state recovery.

• Develop customizable 2D, 2.5D, and 3D avatar systems.
• Implement character controllers, skeletal animation, inverse kinematics, and animation blending.
• Build facial expressions, gestures, emotes, and contextual interactions.
• Integrate avatar customization, clothing, accessories, and appearance systems.
• Support avatar optimization for multiple device classes.

• Implement lighting, shadows, weather, environmental effects, and physical interactions.
• Develop vehicle movement, traffic simulations, and pedestrian navigation.
• Implement NPC behavior, pathfinding, and navigation systems.
• Create interactive homes, offices, shops, cafs, and public environments.
• Integrate procedural and AI-assisted world creation.

• Optimize CPU, GPU, memory, draw calls, shaders, and rendering pipelines.
• Develop graphics quality settings for low-end mobile devices and high-performance computers.
• Implement texture compression, asset streaming, batching, and rendering optimization.
• Profile and resolve performance bottlenecks.
• Improve initial loading speed and runtime stability.

• Develop internal tools for world creation and asset placement.
• Integrate Blender and other 3D content creation pipelines.
• Build reusable tools for designers and artists.
• Collaborate with AI engineers to create natural-language-driven world-building workflows.
• Implement AI-generated asset integration and automated validation.

• Define coding standards and architectural guidelines.
• Conduct code reviews and mentor junior developers.
• Collaborate with 3D artists, UI/UX designers, backend engineers, Dev Ops engineers, and AI teams.
• Own technical design documentation and development milestones.
• Drive architecture decisions while balancing scalability, performance, and maintainability.

• 7+ years of professional game development experience.
• Strong hands-on experience with at least one production game engine, preferably Godot, Unity, or Unreal Engine.
• Strong understanding of Godot 4 architecture and GDScript, or demonstrated ability to transition from another engine.
• Advanced C++ programming knowledge.
• Experience with 2D and 3D rendering, animation, physics, and collision systems.
