Rust Game Engineer

Encultured AI is a for-profit video game company with a public benefit mission: to develop technologies promoting the long-term survival and flourishing of humanity and other sentient life. We aim to this by creating a game for fun, a laboratory for safety, and a sandbox for culture, all on one platform. You can learn more about the company on our website: https://www.encultured.ai/.

Position Description:
In this role you would develop and maintain a game, coded in Rust. You would work closely with a team of fellow game developers to reach development milestones.

Location:
You would primarily work remotely, with regular Zoom calls and Discord communication. At least once per week we work together in person in the San Francisco / Berkeley area for an in-person workday, so if you live nearby it’d be great to have you attend those.

Compensation:
Starting salary would be between $120k and $180k per year depending on experience, plus healthcare benefits, and equity incentives vesting over 5 years, with raises also becoming available with good individual performance or team-wide accomplishments that expand our revenue stream. We also offer a Safe-Harbor 401(k) with the IRS maximum employer matching.

Qualifications:
In this role we need candidates with game development experience and an interest in all aspects of the game development process, ideally in Rust, or having extensive experience with a comparable systems programming language (e.g. C++). We’d like to see candidates who complement their skillset with an area of focus that might include one or more of the following:
-gameplay network engineering,
-graphics & rendering,
-physics.

In addition, we have two tiers of qualification for this role: Junior Game Engineer & Senior Game Engineer. To qualify directly for the Senior title upon joining, we require candidates who have either:
-a Bachelor’s degree or above in computer
science, physics, mathematics, or a closely
related field, or
-extensive industry experience that is clearly beyond that of a typical college graduate in CS.
