Generalist Programmer (contract)

We're looking for a strong generalist programmer with console development experience who is interested in working with a small team and wearing as many hats as it takes to get the job done.

• Interested in rapid prototyping and mechanics people haven't seen before
• Knows how to cheat. We're a small company so we're never going to be able to create all the bizarre, hopelessly elaborate ideas we've got in our heads. We need a clever programmer who can figure out an elegant hack that gets us most of the way there.
• Experience with LUA, Python, and Maya are pluses
• Experience with PhysX and large game engines; Gamebryo experience is a huge plus
• Shipped at least 1 game
• 3+ years of experience in games (preferably including current-gen consoles)
• 5+ years of experience with C++

 

Technical Artist/Animator

We're looking for a technical artist/animator who can help us bring life to our game. We're hoping to find someone who can do production animation and is also technical enough to serve as a bridge between art and code. We understand that's a pretty rare combination so if you're stronger on one side than the other that's fine, as long as you'd be comfortable developing some new skills along the way.

• Can do either of the following:
  • Character animation and rigging (for a bunch of little Henson-esque creatures)
  • Particle animation and effects (starting with a system for paint splat particles, then moving on to things that are a bit stranger and more surreal)
• Can do as many of the following as possible:
  • Python (or MEL) scripting in Maya
  • Lighting and baking in Maya
  • Optimize in-house and outsourced assets
  • Help manage memory and performance budgets
• Can coordinate with the programmers to get content into game as efficiently as possible
• Has shipped at least 1 game
  • Has 4+ years of experience in games
  • Current generation console experience a must
  • Previous generation console experience a strong plus
• Strong Maya background
• Gamebryo experience a plus
