Game Programmer – Qube Kingdom 

Job Description:

In August 2014 we released Qube Kongdom for iOS and Android.  Qube is a fresh take on tower defense games with its rich storyline and inviting array of characters.  The gameplay is familiar, but instead of a static list of towers you assemble and upgrade a roster of heroes and take them into battle.

Responsibilities:

• Architect and implement solutions for an improved experience for the end user
• Collaborate with client, designers and artists on new features and content
• Support and improve live and development servers and databases
• Demonstrate and apply strong problem-solving and debugging skills
• Communicate effectively with management on both a project and studio level
• Perform other similar or related duties as necessary

Minimum qualifications:

• BS in Computer Science or equivalent
• 1-3 years professional C++ development
