Game Developer

KIXEYE is looking for skilled, resourceful and enthusiastic software engineers to join our teams working on our genre defining MMORTS games. Released over a decade ago, War Commander and Battle Pirates continue to be leaders in the MMORTS space, bringing complex strategy gameplay to thousands of dedicated players.

Ideally you are a full stack developer familiar with the gamut of application development languages and tools. Full stack is not a requirement, but a passion for learning is absolutely a must. Our technology stacks include PHP, C++, Scala, and Haxe, and as a live ops game with a large audience, comprehensive devops skills are an asset as well. We're looking for excellence in software engineering, superior communication skills, and a great attitude for working in a team of highly talented people. A genuine love for gaming is a huge asset, as is understanding player needs and strategy game mechanics.

While our MMORTS games are not made on new technologies, they offer a large variety of challenges and learning opportunities.
