We are looking for an experienced game play engineer to us help us
build and modify amazing games for the incredible micro-amusement park
we are building. Our game experiences combine VR, narrative and physical
elements (that may or may not include lasers, fire and robots… really!)

You love games and can’t wait to build the future of entertainment.
 You’ve pushed yourself to go deeper than get-it-done scripting, to
understand how individual mechanics can be perfected to make a game feel
“solid”. You see abstract algorithms, 3D math, complex state
management, and optimization as exciting challenges, not necessary
evils. And at the same time, you know that games get really exciting
when they go beyond pixels and that is what you really want to build.

You’ll be a part of a small, tight-knit team where you’ll learn and
adapt at a very rapid pace and become an integral part of our circus.
