Senior C++ Programmer (remote/onsite)
Role description
We are focused on creating a state-of-the-art, real-time, soft-body physics engine and making it widely available for entertainment and simulation purposes. Our most widely known product is our game BeamNG.drive, which is now available on Steam in Early Access.
In order to support our ongoing and future development plans, we are seeking an experienced programmer with C++ knowledge, who can work independently and be entrusted with long-term development projects.
Technical Responsibilities:
• Immerse yourself in our proprietary C++ game engine, improve its internals in ways that are typically out of reach when using common engines.
• Write simple code for long-term maintainability.
• Be able to quickly learn new areas of code unsupervised as required for each task.
• Optimize performance and reduce memory use, memory leaks and fragmentation, without resorting to lower quality of assets
• Apply basic knowledge of linear algebra, vectors, and geometric principles if needed.
• Assist with build scripts, library integrations and continuous integration.
Non-Technical Responsibilities:
• Be active and participate in internal chat conversations, keeping track of those that may affect the engine development.
• Take full ownership of the advancement of your assigned projects with minimal oversight.
• Assist and guide other developers in the right direction, occasionally doing minor code reviews.
• Proven track record in creating or modifying custom engines.
• Solid foundation in C++ programming, requiring at least 5 years of relevant experience.
• Comprehensive understanding of memory management and optimization strategies.
• Basic math knowledge required for game engine development
• Knowledgeable about performance profiling and optimization tools.
• Proven capacity to assume project ownership and drive initiatives to successful completion.
• Participation in internal team communications, keeping track of engine-related conversations
• Excellent problem-solving abilities and a knack for quickly assimilating new concepts.
• Eagerness to learn and embrace the unique challenges presented by a physics engine simulation game: just like us.
• Outstanding command of English, both spoken and written.
Nice to have
• Willingness to provide programming mentorship and conduct code reviews.
• Experience with fundamental multi-threading primitives.
• Proficient in Linux programming and scripting.
• Knowledge of CI, troubleshooting build issues, and integrating new libraries/platforms.
• Flexible working hours
• Language courses
• Talent development program (training budget, participation in seminars/conferences, etc)
• Personal development program (feedback, leadership, conflict engagement, etc)
• Parental leave
• Employee assistance program
• Relocation assistance (if applicable)
Our recruitment process
Our recruitment process starts with an introductory call with our HR team, continues with a technical interview with Lead Game Engine Programmer and the Lead Rendering Programmer, and finally a stakeholder interview
