The Position
As a game programmer on this project you will work with our designers to conceive of and implement elements of scripted and emergent world content, combat and activities. You will help develop in-game content like AI behaviours, weapons and character mechanics using a combination of C++ code and script.  You will be directly adding exciting content for the player to enjoy, combining elements such as logic, animations, visual and audio effects, user interface and dialog.  In order to fully realise a feature or a section of gameplay,  you will work closely with many disciplines.

Familiarity with developing gameplay in general (e.g. AI, physics, animation)
Strong communication skills and ability to work in a team

Beneficial Experience

At least one shipped AAA title for current or last generation consoles

Experience with character scripting, animation state machines and animation blending
Experience with developing tools and asset pipelines
Experience with game design processes
Good math skills

To thrive in a programming position at Avalanche Studios, you need to be willing and have the ability to learn new tools and workflows. You have a helpful and positive attitude and contribute to a healthy team dynamic by seeing opportunities and highlighting limitations in a constructive way.  You can communicate to clearly establish common goals and align expectations. You are ambitious and are interested in pushing the boundaries of our user experience but can also skillfully balance this with the realities and constraints of the situation at hand.
