An interest in computer science and programming as a craft Experience working across multiple gameplay or engine systems, rather than deep specialization in a single narrow area Additionally one or some of these would be a great bonus Experience with multiplayer Previously worked with shooter or third-person games Comfortable owning technical problems end-to-end with minimal day-to-day direction from design or production At Embark we offer competitive salaries, passionate colleagues to share knowledge with and much more, but most of all we invite you to take part of a journey into the unknown, to build creative, surprising and beautiful experiences together. Be yourself at Embark and make games while doing so. Please apply with confidence. We can’t wait to hear from you (in English)!
