Iron Galaxy is looking for experienced Senior Engineers to join our world-class engineering team. Senior Engineers at Iron Galaxy work on a wide variety of projects, including creating new games from the ground up, co-developing games with partners, and porting existing games to new platforms. Our projects tend to have shorter development cycles; it’s not uncommon for an engineer to work on more than one project in a year. We’ve found that this helps keep things fresh and provides opportunities to utilize experience gained from previous projects.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be expected to take ownership of significant features and systems, debug difficult problems, and provide guidance and feedback to help your teammates grow. You should be comfortable navigating an unfamiliar codebase. While you may have one or more areas of expertise, you aren’t afraid to venture into other domains. In addition to your technical skills, you should have strong communication skills, and work well with diverse cross-functional teams. Responsibilities vary based on the project, and we will also aim to place you on projects that play to your strengths while also giving you room to grow. Here are some examples of what a Senior Engineer might be expected to do.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Provide feedback in code reviews
Identify performance bottlenecks and possible solutions
Create a technical design document for a new system
Review a game design document for a feature and provide feedback
Implement low-level subsystems for a new platform
Work with an evaluation team to provide information for a project bid
Ensure adherence to platform compliance requirements
DESIRED SKILLS
Significant experience at a game studio (any size)
Deep understanding of C/C+
Strong debugging skills
Development experience on at least one game console
Able to adapt to new codebases and platforms
Passion for personal development and mentoring others
