We’re searching for an experienced C++ Programmer to join the development of an exciting racing title built in a proprietary in-house engine. This is a senior-level, hands-on role that blends deep technical challenge with broad system-level exposure. You'll work on everything from core engine functionality to high-speed gameplay systems, helping shape both the technical foundation and the player's experience.

What you’ll be doing:
* Designing, developing, and maintaining key systems in a proprietary C++ engine
* Working across multiple domains including physics, rendering, UI, tools, and systems
* Tackling performance-critical challenges such as memory management and optimisation
* Collaborating with designers, artists, and fellow programmers to deliver features for a high-performance racing game
* Providing mentorship to junior developers and leading by example in code reviews and technical discussions
* Influencing technical architecture and contributing to long-term engine evolution
What we’re looking for:
* 8+ years of experience in the games industry
* Advanced C++ programming skills, with a strong focus on low-level systems
* Proven ability to work across a wide range of game systems beyond just gameplay
* Strong skills in debugging, profiling, and performance tuning
* Experience working with proprietary or custom game engines
* A collaborative, mentoring mindset and excellent communication skills
Bonus points if you have:
* Experience working on racing games or physics-heavy titles
* Familiarity with simulation, real-time rendering, or input systems
* Shipped titles on PC or console
* A passion for clean, efficient code and building systems that scale
