Bloxd - Software Engineer

We’re a profitable video game start-up in London with 15 million monthly players and we’re hiring engineers to join our 10-person founding team.

About us

Creating games with editable worlds usually takes 20k+ lines of well-optimised code and large amounts of effort. Bloxd gives you editable worlds in 5 lines of code, within 5 minutes. You can play our games at bloxd.io http://bloxd.io.

About you

You’re passionate about gaming and excited by the prospect of building great games that bring millions together. You have strong engineering fundamentals and a strong product sense, being happy to wear many hats (game design, UI/UX, community management), and iterate quickly on a live product whilst learning from player feedback.

What we’re looking for

• We’re open to a wide range of seniority - you should have at least 1 year of professional experience in software engineering, game engine development, or game development. This can include revenue-generating side projects and internships.
• Experience developing games or game engines either through work or as side projects.

Things you could work on within your first 2 months

• Create and manage your own game
• Develop new gameplay systems inside existing games
• Build new engine features for use by other game developers
• Profile and optimise performance
• Develop an in-game item marketplace
• Improve our partner implementations (E.g. CrazyGames, Discord Activities)

Our tech

We have a TypeScript-first codebase, and use a combination of React, WebGL, and Node. This tech allows us to deliver Bloxd in an incredibly accessible way, and provides a great developer experience. You’ll need to be happy to pick these up if you’re not already familiar with them.
