Job Description

Engine UI Programmer

Remote – US and Canada only

At thatgamecompany, we strive to create beautiful and intuitive UI, which embraces and contributes to the emotional experiences of our games. Our company is known for having a distinct perspective on what games can be, and crafting unique experiences that players can’t find elsewhere as a result; our approach to UI is no different. Our mission is to take risks in our designs, to break new ground with solutions that players haven’t seen before, and are hand-tailored towards the unique goals of our games.

We are looking for a talented Engine UI Programmer to join our UI team. This individual will develop core UI frameworks in our game-engine, refactor existing code to meet best practices, and implement new UI elements in the game. The ideal candidate will have exceptional engineering skills and deep knowledge of various UI programming patterns, along with a passion for building robust, user-friendly UI frameworks.

Responsibilities:

  • Take ownership of the core UI technology stack in our proprietary game engine. We currently have an immediate-mode UI system in C++

  • Identify issues in our team’s workflow, and propose / implement solutions to streamline our processes and reduce future bugs

  • Improve and/or refactor many of our core UI systems, including the UI animation system, menu management system, HUD system, etc

  • Help establish best practices for UI implementation, and refactor existing code to adhere to this

  • Collaborate with UI Designers and various other disciplines to implement new UI elements

Must-Haves:

  • 2+ years of professional engineering experience with C or C++

  • Experience developing UI frameworks

  • Clear communication skills, ability to work closely with other high-caliber engineers, designers, and artists

  • Passionate about UI engineering and design

  • Self-motivated and capable of juggling multiple projects to meet deadlines

Nice to Haves:

  • Experience working in immediate mode UI systems (ie. ImGui)

  • Experience working in an inhouse or custom game-engine

  • Experience writing UI shaders

  • Experience developing multi-platform interfaces, with varying input methods (ie. touch vs. gamepad input)

  • Experience working with designers to implement and iterate on designs based on existing mockups

  • Understanding of HTML Flexbox layout system

  • Experience with UI design/prototyping tools such as Figma

We look forward to meeting you!
