Description

Are you on a mission to create games that bond players together into deeply invested communities? Would you like to work on something comedic with lighthearted and whimsical characters? Can you look beyond a slick interface of progressions and item rewards and imagine the accumulators, loot tables, and account storage that drives it all?

As a Staff Investment Engineer, you will architect and implement the player progression systems of an Unannounced Project from pre-production to production and beyond, giving designers the ability to engage and delight players across thousands of hours of gameplay. Most importantly, you will work with a fun, dedicated, cross-discipline team devoted to turning a creative dream into a new franchise at PlayStation.

We look for candidates who value joining a mission-focused team with a diverse set of backgrounds, experiences, interests, and viewpoints.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Architect and maintain production-quality player investment systems, workflows, and tools in C++ on Unreal 5 with minimal oversight

• Provide technical guidance to teammates on using and interfacing with such systems, including advising on constraints and best practices.

• Collaborate daily with a cross-disciplinary team to build new gameplay experiences

REQUIRED SKILLS

• Ability to write, debug, and maintain code in C++

• Experience designing and building networked game systems related to long-term player pursuits

• Ability to communicate with customers of different technical and non-technical backgrounds to help them navigate technology and achieve their goals

• Experience with development using the Unreal Engine

NICE-TO-HAVE SKILLS

• Experience working on a live service game

• Experience with development on a variety of platforms (PC, console)

• Experience mentoring or managing engineers
