Develop and extend systems within a custom voxel-based game engine, focusing on low-level programming, rendering, and performance optimization. The role involves implementing Minecraft-style graphics, managing memory, and building internal tooling for asset loading and testing.
Full description
This is a remote position.
We are seeking a Game Developer with strong fundamentals in computer science to work on a voxel-based game built using a custom engine. This role focuses on low-level game programming, rendering, performance optimization, and internal tooling – ideal for candidates who enjoy building systems from the ground up rather than relying on large pre-built game engines or frameworks.
Responsibilities:
Develop and extend systems within a custom voxel-based game engine.
Implement rendering logic for Minecraft-style graphics.
Work with spatial data, world generation, and voxel structures.
Handle memory, performance, and resource management.
Implement ray casting / raytracing-style techniques where applicable.
Integrate 2D, 2.5D, and 3D assets (e.g., from Blender) into the engine.
Develop internal tooling for asset loading, builds, packaging, and testing.
Experiment with future-facing features such as AI or external API integrations.
Actively clarify unclear concepts, requirements, or gaps in knowledge.
Requirements
