• Investigate technical issues and deliver reliable fixes.

Technical Documentation

• Document game systems, scripts, and architecture decisions.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with designers and artists to align technical implementation with creative direction.
• Communicate progress, technical decisions, and blockers clearly.
• Participate in focused team discussions and async collaboration.

Required Experience & Skills

• Hands-on professional or portfolio experience developing games in both Unity and Godot.
• Strong C# experience with Unity.
• Experience with GDScript or C# in Godot.
• Shipped games or strong portfolio projects demonstrating your development experience.
