Are you a seasoned C++ programmer who thrives outside the comfort of an off-the-shelf engine? Do you love the challenge of getting under the hood of a custom engine and making it sing? If so, we want YOU to join our team as a Gameplay Programmer on an exciting freelance project: porting a beloved, world-renowned title to new life!

Contract Details

Role: Gameplay Programmer
Contract Type: Freelance (IČO)
Duration: 3 months
Location: Remote – open to candidates based within the European Union. Applications from outside the region unfortunately cannot be considered.

Why Us?

Iconic IP: Work on the porting of a famous title, bringing a beloved franchise to new platforms and new players.
Real Engineering Challenges: Get hands-on with a custom C++ engine rather than templated engine workflows.
Collaborative Environment: Work alongside a talented, experienced team who move fast and know their craft.

What You’ll Do:

• Work within our custom C++ engine to implement and port gameplay features.
• Write and integrate Lua scripting to support gameplay systems.
• Work with DirectX to help ensure rendering and performance hold up across target platforms.
• Collaborate closely with designers, artists, and fellow engineers to bring the original games’ experiences faithfully to life.
• Optimize performance and troubleshoot issues quickly, adapting to a custom codebase without the safety net of Unreal or Unity documentation and community support.

What You Must Bring:

• Proven experience working with a custom game engine in C++
• Solid experience with Lua or similar scripting languages.
• Familiarity with DirectX or similar technologies.
• A senior, self-sufficient mindset: you’re comfortable diving into unfamiliar codebases, learning fast, and working independently with minimal ramp-up. This role is not suitable for junior or entry-level candidates.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively within a remote team.
