Regardless of type, Impact Theory's content underscores the company's mission to ensure the global spread of a growth mindset through ideas and entertainment.

Project Kyzen, in its current public release, is a casual, multiplayer game in which players will have the choice to compete against each other in several different mini-games. Users can craft unique avatars and explore the Kyzen universe. Project Kyzen will be developed in phases throughout its lifetime in which players will be able to provide feedback to create the ultimate immersive experience in gaming.

This role demands a well-rounded programmer passionate about creating immersive experiences and skilled at collaborating across disciplines to deliver a polished, scalable game. You'll be instrumental in developing AI bots, core gameplay mechanics, and character interactions that provide players with an engaging, responsive game world.

Responsibilities

  • Develop Gameplay Features: Build and integrate gameplay mechanics, character controls, player movement, combat, and UI to create a cohesive game experience.
  • Collaborate Across Disciplines: Partner with designers, artists, and programmers to iterate on gameplay and AI features, contributing technical insights that enhance the player experience.
  • Architect Core Systems: Develop foundational systems supporting gameplay, networking, and AI, with scalability and stability in mind.
  • Optimize and Troubleshoot: Identify and address performance issues across CPU, GPU, and network, focusing on improving both the game's stability and the AI systems' efficiency.
  • Maintain Code Quality: Write, review, and maintain robust, scalable code that supports efficient workflows and empowers the team.
