Orange, California, United States Bonfire Studios Full time
Bonfire Studios is a highly collaborative, cross-disciplinary environment where every developer's voice shapes the company, the game, and the tasks we work on each day.

We are looking for a Senior Features engineer to partner closely with our development team to drive and build our features end-to-end, from the UI to the backend, for our first game.

The successful candidate will have at least 5 years experience working as a software engineer with a focus on game features development, though they will likely have more. They will be passionate about UI and features development, understanding how important it is for the user experience. They will contribute to the design and implementation of the end-to-end features for our first game. They will have an entrepreneurial spirit and passionately self-start and self-direct projects. They will love pitching in other areas and collaborating with the people they work with. They will have a growth mindset and also care about helping others develop.

About the Role:
  • Main focus will be on features both across the UI and backend, in areas such as social, meta-progression and game flows, translating creative visions into technical realities.
  • Developing game features, systems and tools leveraging Unity's new Data-Oriented Tech Stack (DOTS) in C# and UI in Blend/XAML.
  • Experience in these technologies is great, an aptitude for picking up new technologies is even better.
  • Will help drive these end-to-end features, helping shape the design and stand up the systems while collaborating with fellow engineers and designers.
  • A highly collaborative team where we design and review things together.

You'll love working at Bonfire because we:
  • Have strong values that include transparency, ownership, and trust. We are a people-first studio that also strives for a high bar of excellence in our creations.
  • Celebrate craft expertise because we are a small, tight-knit group of highly experienced game developers who are as passionate about our team as we are our game.
  • Offer opportunities to learn and contribute beyond your focused discipline in areas of interest or passion.
  • Practice candor and feedback, leveling ourselves and each other up in the process.
  • Play games and have fun together, kindling our own love for games and learning about each other.

Salary: The estimated salary range for this position is $155,000 - $290,000.
