XBOX SERIES S|X — C++ SOFTWARE ENGINEERS

March 22, 2023 — ACE MADDOX is looking for experienced C++ Software Engineers with console game development backgrounds to work on our proprietary game engine Niagara for Project FUMEAX, a unique vehicle/aircraft-based action game.

LOCATION

  • Remote.

EXPECTATIONS

  • Strong practical knowledge of C++.
  • Experience working on proprietary 3D engines and related tools and plugins for Maya or Blender.
  • A positive mindset — every issue is an opportunity to improve existing code.
  • You are ready to analyze/improve performance as required, perform high-quality debugging, and fix recurring errors/warnings (don’t even think about muting a warning!)
  • Experience debugging across a variety of hardware configurations.
  • Enthusiastic about current/next-gen consoles and eager to learn more.
  • Knowledge of multi-threaded engine architecture — with a respectable but limited number of threads (to ensure the technical scope is manageable.)
  • Timely, structured, and self-motivated individuals are preferred—strong written English skills.
  • Trustworthy with a high level of integrity to ensure project details remain confidential.

PLUSES

  • Three or more years of hands-on experience working with PlayStation; at least one shipped title, whether indie or AAA
  • Strong interpersonal and communications skills.
  • Proficiency in trigonometry and linear algebra.

PROJECT NOTES

  • Our engine Niagara™ is being developed for PS5 and Xbox Series S|X. 
    • Roadmap Ambition: Feature-complete Q2, 2024.
    • Target platforms: PS5/Xbox, Windows 10/11, and macOS.
  • Expected development cycle: Project FUMEAX is scheduled to begin on November 1, 2024, and run for 18-24 months.
    • Visual Studio 2022 and other source code are hosted on repositories integrated with an easy-to-use issue tracker.
  • ACE MADDOX uses Discord to communicate (text and video.) We also use Zoom from time to time.

APPLICATION NOTES

  • Unfortunately, we cannot respond to every request individually.
  • At this point in time, we cannot accept/provide internships.

Send your resume/experience overview to [email protected] if you are skilled and interested in this position.
