You’ll make sure our product is technically robust and compatible with all current and potential future platform requirements
You’ll work closely with our many teams and external partners – and especially with game programmers to ensure our product’s performance is world-class
You write logically clear, high-quality, and robust code
You’ll wrench out simple solutions to complex problems
Requirements

About Metacore
Metacore is formed by small game teams, each deciding which games to build, when to ship them, and when to pivot or kill them. As a company, we’re relatively small too. Our headcount is currently 30+, and probably 40+ by the end of this year.
Working at Metacore
Metacore is the game company where players are the closest thing to a boss. That gives a lot of independence and responsibility to our game teams and individuals. Together, we work as Metacore – not for or at Metacore. These six points should give you a good hunch of what that means in practise.
