About the position

Wizcorp is looking for Software Engineers for a selection of diverse fields. Depending on your background, skills, and experience we’ll find the most suitable role within our teams for you. We value human skills and character as much as we do experience and proficiency.

Typical day

You might start with an hour of looking over some code with a senior engineer.

In the afternoon you may spend some time working with game designers and artists to complete feature integration.

  • Test and document provided solutions to allow other developers to review and learn
  • Write clear, maintainable code that passes review by senior engineers
  • Estimate own tasks and deliver them in a timely manner
  • Raise all blockers when they arise to the feature lead or project lead
  • Follow software engineering best practices for the full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, and testing
  • Take ownership of medium-sized features by breaking them into manageable tasks that can be accomplished by themselves and/or others
  • Coordinate with members outside of the engineering team to deliver features in a timely manner

Requirements

  • Strong software development fundamentals, design theory, and development processes
  • Excellent debugging skills
  • Excellent written and verbal communication
  • Willingness to work as part of a team and contribute to technical discussions
  • Eager to learn from reviews and constructive feedback
  • Strong personal time management
  • University degree in Engineering, Computer Science or related discipline; or relevant professional experience
  • 3+ years professional software engineering experience
  • At least one year of experience in the video game industry
  • Must have experience with C++ and C# backed with Go
  • Demonstrable Software Engineering ability
  • Experience with Git or other version control system
  • Experience with multiple programming languages
