Gameplay Engineer needed for Contract Opportunity with Randstad Technologies client in Redmond, WA.
Our content engineering team is a team of skilled generalists, and our mandate is to bring the vision of our content creators to life in ways that are stable, scalable, performant and re-usable. The focus of the role will be on implementation of both high-level gameplay systems and specific gameplay experiences in a combination of C and Lua.
