WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR

Lightheart Entertainment is looking for a generalist senior programmer to join us in creating hit games! We’re looking for the kind of programmer who can be the technical backbone of a game project from the very first days onwards. Someone who welcomes all the engineering challenges game development brings and thrives on building practical solutions for them.

ABOUT LIGHTHEART

Do you enjoy making games? It’s really as simple as that. 

We at Lightheart believe in putting the game in the hands of the team - everything from idea to execution, from development to growth. We organise into small teams that encapsulate all the disciplines of building a game whether it’s designing back end systems or making ad creatives. 

We look for people who have their area of passion and expertise, but are into other disciplines as well. We find that knowing and understanding what fellow team members face brings better decisions and more happiness.

We also believe that given the right support, a team can self-organize far more efficiently than a hierarchy can. We believe the best decisions regarding a game come from people who are closest to where the magic happens.

At the end of the day, our work is about combining data with craftsmanship, about learning from the market as fast as possible. The market moves fast, and every month we have to take time to learn and unlearn. To make sure we use the numbers to learn instead of wielding authority, we emphasize openness and trust.

What are we working on, you might ask? That’s important, too. We are a mobile game studio, and we focus on pioneering games that combine the instant joy of hyper-casual games and the deeper elements that make a game turn into a hobby. But words rarely do games justice. Try out Mr Autofire, the first of our games. It’s fun. We promise.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• You will be working with Unity so we expect you to have solid knowledge of it

• You will be mostly working with game client, but also you will have the chance to work with backend and development tools

REQUIREMENTS

• A passion for making games - from elaborate systems to honing second to second gameplay

• 5-10 years of experience preferred, more never hurts

• Good knowledge of Unity and C#

• Generalist coding skills that can be applied to all areas of development

• Independent mindset so you can work as the sole programmer in the team if necessary during the early stages of development
   

Competitive salary and benefits, extra paid vacation days in the first vacation cycle. We accommodated remote working before the pandemic and will do so in the future as well.
