Our group is a mix of seasoned Robloxians and some fresh faces. We’re looking for a full time gameplay programmer to join the development team and help build an awesome first game!

Our marketing wizard: @nikkowb

About our first game:
We already have a solid concept for a game we’re all extremely excited about. Without giving away too many spoilers… it’s a multiplayer RPG set in a haunted world. We’re building an exciting universe filled with beautiful areas to explore, engaging mechanics, and a strong emphasis on storytelling to tie it all together. You’ll love it, we just know it!
About your role:
You will be working full time as a gameplay programmer, involved in designing backend and frontend modular systems, across multiple codebases and universe places.
You will be:
- Writing clean and maintainable Lua code for cross-platform games
- Using version control through Rojo and Github to make sure our games are easily maintainable and run smoothly into the future.
- Working within a designated time frame, following a feature roadmap, aimed at delivering quality efficiently
- Using Jira to keep on top of tasks
- Collaborating and taking part in discussions, providing valuable input as well as taking constructive feedback
- Sharing learnings and supporting areas with key insights on the Roblox platform, from building a game to community interaction
What we consider are must haves for this role:
- Great understanding of the Roblox API
- Experience with creating and maintaining modular codebases
- Ability to not only release a high quality game, but also maintain a game through patches, updates and bug fixes;
- Entrepreneurial mindset: ability to operate in ambiguity and roll up your sleeves.
What would be nice to have for this role:
- Experience using Github and Rojo for version control.
- A polished past project which you have worked on as the independent developer or sole programmer.
- Past experience of working in a team of programmers
- Experience developing content across desktop and console platforms;
- Experience using Jira for project management
What we offer:
Work from home or from anywhere! We have team members already in 3 different time zones working closely together with full transparency, efficiency and trust. We value our team members and believe each one has an important role in creating a unique, magical experience for our players! A strong and welcoming company culture: we love what we do and we love working together. You’ll love it too!
Compensation:
- Base salary: $60,000-$75,000 USD / yr
- Equity: stock in the company to make you feel like an owner, not an employee
