About the Position

C++/C# Developer

ATRA collaborates with game studios around the world to help build ambitious games across PC and console platforms. Our team is composed of experienced developers who care deeply about craft, collaboration, and delivering high-quality game experiences.

We are currently looking to connect with C++/C# programmers across multiple areas of specialization: gameplay systems, engine features, tools, AI, UI, networking, graphics, database integrations, and more.

We do not expect candidates to cover all of these areas. Instead, we’re interested in engineers who are confident working with both C++ and C#, bring solid expertise in one or more technical areas, and enjoy collaborating closely with other specialists in a production environment.

Depending on the project, you may integrate directly with partner teams as part of their development pipeline or contribute to systems developed within ATRA.

Collaborating closely with designers, artists, engineers, and other stakeholders to translate requirements into robust technical solutions
Debugging complex technical issues and maintaining system stability throughout development
Participating in code reviews and technical discussions to maintain high engineering standards
Supporting and improving development workflows, tools, and pipelines where needed

Requirements

4+ years of professional experience in software development, preferably in game development or interactive applications
Solid programming experience in both C++ and C#, with at least an intermediate level of practical proficiency in each language
Strong software engineering fundamentals, including object-oriented programming, data structures, algorithms, and clean code principles
Comfortable navigating, understanding, and contributing to large or long-lived codebases
Good understanding of software architecture and maintainable system design
Strong debugging, profiling, and problem-solving abilities
Experience using version control systems such as Git or Perforce
Ability to collaborate effectively with cross-disciplinary teams
Good communication skills and a proactive approach to technical problem solving

Familiarity with console development environments, such as PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo Switch
Experience optimizing performance in real-time applications
Specialized knowledge such as AI, UI, tooling, networking, rendering, backend systems, or gameplay systems
Experience with porting or cross-platform projects
VR/AR experience
Comfort working with distributed teams or external partners

We Offer

The opportunity to work on high-quality projects with leading game studios
Collaboration with experienced developers across disciplines
A flexible working environment
A team culture built on entrepreneurial spirit, transparency, and respect for craft
Opportunities to grow into technical leadership or specialist roles
Continuous learning and mentorship. Clear feedback, support, and a path to becoming your “best engineering self”
