Wildlight Entertainment is a brand-new, fully-funded entertainment studio comprised of talented creators from some of the biggest IPs in gaming, including Apex Legends, Call of Duty, and Titanfall.

With a bias for action and a belief in each other, we’re betting on ourselves to deliver truly unforgettable gaming experiences.
We're a remote-first company, but we believe people should be able to work where they can be most productive. Currently, we can employ in the United States and Canada. We also have offices in Los Angeles and Seattle for those interested in hybrid or full-time office work.
We are looking for a Senior Engine Programmer to help us build the tools and systems required to ship a high-quality AAA game. Successful applicants should be familiar with the nuts and bolts of game development, including console SDK integrations, crash and performance bottleneck diagnosis, hardware and architecture specific tuning and optimizations, and other systems-related work. This is a critical support role, without which we cannot ship a high-quality product. As a part of our engineering team, you will contribute to a culture of collaborative problem-solving, technical excellence, and continuous education and improvement.
Benefits: We are committed to creating a positive and inclusive work environment with a no-crunch culture and an unlimited PTO policy so people can take the time when they need and want it! Additionally, we offer comprehensive healthcare, dental & vision coverage for you and your family and paid parental leave. Apply
