Gameplay Engineer

Tech Tree Games is hiring a Gameplay Engineer!

We’re a small mobile studio based out of the US with some very successful live games and more in development, and we’re looking to bring on more people to grow our company and our biggest game, The Tower.

This position is primarily individual contributor work on features and content for the game. The ideal candidate is experienced enough to work with other developers and help ensure that the game’s codebase remains usable, clean, and well-documented, avoiding technical debt and other potential issues. The exact level of responsibility depends on the person and their experience, but professional experience in mobile F2P games is a strict requirement for this position.

Tech Tree Games is an entirely remote studio. We are currently only able to hire applicants living in California or Texas as full-time employees, although we are open to contractors located elsewhere that are available during US business hours.

Contribute code for new content, features, events, and internal tools

Optimize and fix bugs in existing gameplay systems

Work with other developers to create compelling gameplay that puts the player first

Review code, documentation, and other work from developers on the game

What We Need

3+ years of professional experience on a live-operated mobile game

Proficiency with Unity and C#

Mobile-specific proficiency, including ad network SDKs, analytics, and similar features

Experience working in a remote environment with minimal overhead and supervision

Proficiency developing or maintaining backend logic using Firebase and Firestore

Experience navigating crash reporting tools (e.g., Crashlytics) to diagnose, debug, and resolve production issues

What We’d Love

Experience working on tower defense, strategy, and/or idle games, especially The Tower

Well-rounded developer comfortable with wearing multiple hats on a small game team

Experience with React & JavaScript to assist with tool development

What You’ll Get

Competitive pay based on experience

Medical and dental benefits and 401(k) plan with match (for full-time employees)

Flexible hours and time off

Minimal meetings, no corporate overhead, just game development
