WE MAKE FUN...FUNNER.


We are Full Circle, and we're all about having fun and making great games that people want to play with their friends. As the developers of skate, we are set to provide an experience that embraces and builds upon everything our community found special about the previous games. We believe in creating an inclusive world inside and outside of our games for our players and our team. As a geo-diverse studio, our team members around the globe can either work from home, in the office or a hybrid of both.

  • You will develop features that bring the skate gameplay vision to life.

  • You will work collaboratively as part of a team that includes designers, animators, and other engineers.

  • Deliver compelling player experiences through a satisfying physics simulation in an open sandbox world.

  • Prototype and implement gameplay mechanics, both by modifying existing systems and developing new code.

  • Work within a proprietary engine, providing feedback and understanding best practices in the engine.

  • Analyze and optimize gameplay feature performance to reach release quality.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent training and professional experience.

  • 5+ years experience with C++ and development in object-oriented design and implementation.

  • Experience working on a shipped game with involvement in architecting and implementing core gameplay such as character controls, input, animation systems, multiplayer, or other related systems.

  • Experience in a second field, such as physics or 3D math.

  • Experience with version control systems like Perforce, and development and debugging tools such as Visual Studio.
