About the position

Klang is looking for a Senior Game Engineer (f/m/d) who enjoys a collaborative and creative work environment to join us in one of the most exciting cities on the planet!

What you will do

• Contribute to the design and development of an ambitious MMO project, built on a foundation of distributed systems and ECS architecture.
• Work on solving interesting technical problems across the game’s C# codebase, from the game client through AI systems to server-side code.
• Build user interfaces using EvolveUI, a modern and high-performance UI framework for game development.
• Collaborate with fellow Klangers across several disciplines, including engineering, game design, UI/UX design, and art.

Who we think will be a great fit

• 5+ years of professional programming experience with C#, C++, or Java.
• Professional experience with a modern game engine and/or backend. Unity experience is a plus.
• Understanding and navigating complex systems, both in the form of code and game designs.
• Identifying and resolving technical and design challenges.
• Writing performant code, based on a solid foundational knowledge of memory management and algorithmic complexity.

Bonus

• Developing large-scale online multiplayer games, ideally from concept to release.
• Working with ECS architectures (Unity DOTS or equivalent).
• Implementing and consuming network APIs (REST, gRPC, etc.)
• Working with distributed systems, especially actor frameworks (Akka, Orleans, etc.)
• Ensuring the stability and reliability of the game, and taking ownership of operational responsibilities instead of deferring them to the platform teams.
• Experience with modern web UI frameworks (makes it easier to learn EvolveUI).

An opportunity to work on a groundbreaking project with a lot of room for professional and personal development

• Reimbursement for physical health activities
• Employee Assistance Program, including mental health support, legal advice as well as support finding doctor’s appointments
• Mental health support
• Flexible office hours (with core hours)
• Virtual Stock Options (VSOP)
• Competitive salary and 23 days of paid vacation
• Reduced working hours during the month of August
• Private healthcare
• Paid trips to Berlin to attend team events and meet the team
