Bloxd - Software Engineer
We’re a profitable video game start-up in London with 15 million monthly players and we’re hiring engineers to join our 10-person founding team.
About us
Creating games with editable worlds usually takes 20k+ lines of well-optimised code and large amounts of effort. Bloxd gives you editable worlds in 5 lines of code, within 5 minutes. You can play our games at bloxd.io.
About you
You’re passionate about gaming and excited by the prospect of building great games that bring millions together. You have strong engineering fundamentals and a strong product sense, being happy to wear many hats (game design, UI/UX, community management), and iterate quickly on a live product whilst learning from player feedback.
What we’re looking for
We’re open to a wide range of seniority - you should have at least 1 year of professional experience in software engineering, game engine development, or game development. This can include revenue-generating side projects and internships.
Experience developing games or game engines either through work or as side projects.
Things you could work on within your first 2 months:
Create and manage your own game
Develop new gameplay systems inside existing games
Build new engine features for use by other game developers
Profile and optimise performance
Develop an in-game item marketplace
Improve our partner implementations (E.g. CrazyGames, Discord Activities)
Our tech
We have a TypeScript-first codebase, and use a combination of React, WebGL, and Node. This tech allows us to deliver Bloxd in an incredibly accessible way, and provides a great developer experience. You’ll need to be happy to pick these up if you’re not already familiar with them.
