Job description

Position Summary

Essential Job Functions

Design, code, integrate, test, and debug game software for slot machines.

Demonstrate a strong understanding of the platform hardware, libraries, and operating system.

Provide input on game design and scheduling as it relates to software implementation.

Effectively communicate technical requirements to team members.

Collaborate with software quality assurance engineers to ensure regulatory compliance and timely product release.

Cultivate, maintain, and disseminate internal systems knowledge while providing feedback on platform and tools implementation.

Mentor junior engineers in related studios and throughout Game Development.

Create or update documentation related to new features, interfaces, and usage.

Contribute to in-house development toolset and engineering support.

Maintain up-to-date knowledge on new programming methods and technologies.

Use Claude Code and Cowork intentionally as part of daily engineering work - coding, debugging, test writing, and documentation.

Apply healthy skepticism to AI-generated output: check for invented APIs or methods, subtly incorrect logic, and missed edge cases before work moves to review.

Set the standard for how the team verifies AI-assisted work; help others recognize and work around common AI shortcomings rather than taking output at face value.

Take a leading role evaluating and adopting agentic coding workflows as they mature, weighing fit against our regulatory constraints.

Qualifications

5+ years of professional experience in a software development team

2D and 3D graphics programming experience (Unity or Godot experience is preferred)

Gaming industry experience is preferred, but not required

Knowledge, Skills and Abilities

Proficient in C# or C++ with a strong understanding of object-oriented design concepts

High degree of comfort with software development tools such as IDEs/compilers, debuggers, profilers, and version control systems

Familiarity with working in a Windows programming environment, including Unity and Visual Studio

Enjoy working in a creative environment

Strong multi-tasking skills

Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Ability to work well with others in a team environment

Practical, daily experience with AI coding assistants, with the judgment to catch common failure modes - confident-but-wrong answers, hallucinated functions, outdated patterns - and work around them.

Track record of using AI tools to take on higher-complexity work while maintaining rigorous verification habits; able to coach others on catching AI mistakes early.
