Guildford, Surrey, United Kingdom Glowmade Full time

We're a small, exciting company called Glowmade, and our goal is to create games that unlock people's imagination and help them express themselves in wonderful, fun ways. Currently, we're busy building a new multiplayer cooperative game with an ambitious creative wrapper around it. If you can imagine Jim Henson's Labyrinth mashed up with Wrestlemania, then you'll be on the right track.

Coding Workflow

We use C++ for the majority of our development work, but it is often more data-oriented than object-oriented. This lets us concentrate on the features and toolsets our asset creators genuinely need, keeping development as friction-free as we can make it:

  • The entire codebase builds for debug in under 4 minutes, and a single code file change will rebuild in under 5 seconds.
  • Rebuilding assets, including all shaders, takes around 25 minutes, and it's a rare occasion that rebuilding from scratch is required.
  • Hot reloading means you only occasionally have to restart the game when game assets or data are updated.

Key Responsibilities

  • Think creatively about how to push the game's visual bar and blow our minds.
  • Work closely with Adam, our Art Director, to deliver on the game's visual direction.
  • Pivotal to the success of the game, having specced and delivered key visual and pipeline technology.

Requirements

  • Have 5+ years' experience as a Rendering Engineer.
  • Know lots about performance tuning and optimisation.
  • Be at C++ Level.

Advantageous Qualities

  • An artistic eye married with an ability to express that in code.
  • Shipped a game as part of a team.
  • Experience delivering a cross-platform project.

Benefits

  • Private Medical Cover.
  • Weekly PT Sessions.
  • 20 days base PLUS we shut the studio from Christmas Eve to New Year's Bank Holiday inclusive.
  • Accrue extra holiday days per year of employment: 1 additional day of holiday on the 1st January following your first full year of work, then 1 further day of holiday every 2 years.
