Senior Core Systems Engineer

We are extending our team focused on building the tech for our next ambitious project. The project is our own proprietary IP, and we are looking for two coders; one will focus on Core Systems and the Engine, and the other one will focus on the Consoles. Of course, both will share our values and passion for creating the best games possible.

Sharkmob's crew has high ambitions, so we value smart decisions, creativity, and passion for the craft. If you consider yourself to be a skilled Coder who thrives in close collaborations with others - then we might be the next challenge you're looking for.

Why is this a great time to join Sharkmob?
The projects will face a lot of interesting challenges when it comes to world-building, pipelines, streaming, and performance - I can't wait to take them on!" - Johan Bernhardsson, Associate Technical Director on our second project.

We are working with UE5, but while it is a feature-rich and established engine, our games require something more. Your task would be to improve the existing functionality and framework in Unreal, using the existing technology to implement new and alternative features to further improve the engine for our purposes.

Desired experience and skills:
- Game engine or renderer development experience.
- Great C++ programmer.
- A good understanding of how to design, implement, and work in a feature-rich game engine.
- A solid understanding of profiling and optimization for speed and memory.
- An understanding of how to run tasks concurrently safely and efficiently.


- Driven by supporting the whole team and disciplines.
- A true collaborative spirit - who ensures smooth and efficient communication between disciplines.


Bonus:
- Experience working with Unreal Engine 4 and 5.

- Experience with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X development.
- Deep understanding of concurrency and how to optimize it, both on the CPU and GPU.
- Knowledgeable of how modern rendering pipelines and techniques work.


You may be asked to complete a take-home assignment as part of the interview process.

This is a permanent position based in Malmö, Sweden, and is open to all applicants intending to relocate as soon as possible.
