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.
Implementray casting/ raytracing-style techniques where applicable.
Integrate 2D, 2.5D, and 3D assets (e.g., from Blender) into the engine.
Developinternal 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.

Familiarity with basic rendering pipelines and graphical concepts.

Excellent problem-solving abilities and a proactive mindset toward experimentation and iteration.

Ability to work independently in a remote environment while engaging effectively with distributed teams

Benefits
Opportunity for 100% remote work.

Competitive compensation package
