Senior Programmer
Who We Are:
Studio MDHR is an award-winning independent entertainment studio, and the creators of the whimsical cartoon run & gun game Cuphead as well as its follow-up expansion, The Delicious Last Course.
The Role:
We’re looking for a talented programmer to join the studio to help us shape the foundation of our next big project. Under the guidance of our designers and Lead Engineer, you’ll be responsible for solving unique problems that enable Studio MDHR to continue building hand-crafted experiences that surprise and delight people.
As a nimble, remote-work team, we try to avoid bureaucracy and strict hierarchies. This means that from the first commit to the last, you’ll be involved in all major parts of the codebase.
Essential Skills:
- Strong proficiency in Unity-based game development
- Proven experience programming for core 3Cs (character, camera, controls), as well as core game components such as enemies, bosses, combat, and interactable objects
- Experience with at least one full game production cycle on a shipped console or PC game, with strong preference for titles containing character action and combat
- Meticulous attention to detail, with a dedication to writing clean, performant code
- A sense of craftsmanship: you invest love and care into the little details that people may not notice
- Ability to work closely with artists and on art implementation during development
- Diligent, positive, self-motivated work ethic: as a distributed team, it’s crucial that you manage your time well, and adjust deftly to guidance and direction
- Adherence to project milestones and deliverables
Ideal Extras:
- Experience programming custom tools to help enhance a game’s development pipeline
- Knowledge of 2D content creation pipelines
- A skillset that includes technical art implementation
