We aspire to bring people together through engaging media experiences and by building strong communities.It's a super exciting project, but for us to achieve a goal like this, we are going to need your help!
What you will do
- Contribute to the design and development of an ambitious MMO project, built on a foundation of distributed systems and ECS architecture.
- Work on solving interesting technical problems across the game’s C# codebase, from the game client through AI systems to server-side code.
- Build user interfaces using EvolveUI, a modern and high-performance UI framework for game development.
- Collaborate with fellow Klangers across several disciplines, including engineering, game design, UI/UX design, and art.
Who we think will be a great fit
- 5+ years of professional programming experience with C#, C++, or Java.

- Identifying and resolving technical and design challenges.
- Writing performant code, based on a solid foundational knowledge of memory management and algorithmic complexity.
Bonus
- Developing large-scale online multiplayer games, ideally from concept to release.
- Working with ECS architectures (Unity DOTS or equivalent).
- Implementing and consuming network APIs (REST, gRPC, etc.)
- Working with distributed systems, especially actor frameworks (Akka, Orleans, etc.)
- Ensuring the stability and reliability of the game, and taking ownership of operational responsibilities instead of deferring them to the platform teams.
- Experience with modern web UI frameworks (makes it easier to learn EvolveUI).
Benefits
- An opportunity to work on a groundbreaking project with a lot of room for professional and personal development
- Competitive salary and 27 days of paid vacation
- Monthly public transport travel ticket or co-contribution to e-bike/e-moped
