And so, as we move into new genres and grow our studio, our hunt for talent continues

Join the Supermassive Games team and create your own story.

We're looking for a Gameplay and Physics Programmer to join us here at Supermassive Games...

In this role you'll be:

We are aiming to achieve Hollywood production values in real time, so we're engaging with industry-leading, next generation features for rendering, content creation and human simulation that will intensify the player experience.

This role will be based in one of our three central Guildford offices - each a short distance from the main train station. We're passionate about the collaborative environment here at Supermassive Games where we work to a hybrid model in many of our roles. We are truly a diverse and international business of more than 40 different nationalities from around the globe, providing sponsorship and relocation assistance to those that require it (speak to one of our recruiters for more info).

Requirements

The main responsibilities will be:

• Developing game systems with a particular focus on the use of physics to achieve realistic interactive results.
• Applying a deep understanding of industry-standard physics APIs to meet the requirements of the game and suggest new approaches.
• Being involved at any stage of asset production from specification to platform-specific challenges

Experience and skills that would best suit this position:

• Expert in C++ - you've got strong experience in C++, and have contributed to shipped games on PC, console or mobile.
• Excellent Physics Knowledge - you have in-depth understanding of the practical use of one or more physics middleware systems (e.g. PhysX, Havok) on a shipped game.
• Strong 3D Maths - you have a broad knowledge of the theory and practical application of 3D maths in games.

• Great Communicator - you can talk about your work. You'll be as comfortable specifying a task with designers and collaborating on a shared codebase with engineers as you are taking feedback from directors and producers.
• Practical - sometimes a rapid prototype is needed to quickly test an idea. Other times a mission-critical system needs detailed planning and consultation. You have an instinct for what level of engineering is needed, and you can work efficiently at any level.
• Passion for Games - you've probably been playing games forever. You understand an engaging player experience and are confident reproducing it in code.

Benefits

The Perks of being a Supermassive Superstar are:

• 25 Days Annual Leave (3 of which are used when we close the studio for our end of year break)
• Private Medical Insurance (BUPA)
• Life Assurance (6 x annual salary)
• Quarterly Profit related Bonus

• Pension Scheme
• Employee Assistance Programme
• Income Protection
• Enhanced Family Leave (maternity and paternity pay)
• Generous staff referral scheme

• Discount Card for food and drink at our local pub
