OPM are excited to be working with this AAA studio based in Runcorn. They are looking for highly experienced game programmers to join their successful team working on an unannounced title for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. This exclusive new title is based on their successful IP – and they want to make their latest game the best one yet!

They are looking for proven, professional C++ games experience. Any experience with consoles, particularly PS4 or Xbox One, will be an advantage, as will having worked in a larger AAA development team.

They need someone who wants to develop and implement new gameplay code, works to a very high standard in many different code areas, including features such as strategy, mechanics, logic, combat systems, AI, UI and audio code, and can get up to speed quickly on a large existing C++ code base. To be successful, you should be self-motivated with a high level of initiative and able to work unsupervised, quickly adapting to and supporting in-house working practices and assisting in mentoring of junior programmers, as well as the usual responsibilities of an experienced coder.

Technical Requirements:

• Excellent C/C++ skills at a professional level with console games (particularly PS4 or Xbox One will be an advantage)
• Ability to quickly familiarise yourself to work with a large existing codebase
• Ability to prototype as well as producing final code
• Strong debugging, profiling and optimising, system design and 3D math skills
• A strong academic background is preferred with a 1st class or 2:1 degree in Computer Science, Maths, Physics or other related subject
• Must have a genuine interest in playing and developing games
