[MULTIVERSE][GAMES]

Just raised €400k - looking to add a Senior Game Programmer as a first hire to a key position. Equity included.

Do you want to be the programmer who heads the development of our user facing systems, and help us make a gamer owned metaverse of fun game experiences? We've just raised €400K pre-seed funding, and are looking for a first hire to work directly with our CTO on both tech and product.

What is the company doing?

We are building a universe of interconnected high resolution worlds. These worlds are created, owned and governed by the gamers. Using fun and immersive creation tools the gamers create their own game experiences. The solution is packaged in the form of a platform consisting of three parts; a world generator, user's creation tools and a peer-to-peer marketplace. We are also passionate about pushing game tech to the next level by building high performance, lightweight modern infrastructure.

We are in the pre-seed stage and right now building a first playable prototype that we hope to launch after next summer. We have two strong investors, one well respected European VC fund and one Angel Investor with a strong network in the gaming industry and with board experience from known game studios. We have a runway covering all of 2022, during which we will build and test the prototype and build a strong community.

Who are your team members and co-founders?

Business. Tobias Enholm. Enjoys building teams, genuine relationships and companies. Have cat like curiosity, is a good listener and a dreamer. Favourite game of all time is Heroes of Might and Magic 3. Experience as a Business Consultant and Head of Commercial for a tech startup.

Tech & Product. Fredrik Norén. Nerds out on math and history. Is a lifelong gamer and game creator. Favourite game of all time is PUBG. Been Tech & Product lead at Spotify. Has shipped games and built game engines since he was a teenager.

Who are you?

You are already living in Stockholm or from anywhere in the world but willing to relocate to Stockholm with our help. You are very comfortable using English as your working language.

You have solid experience from the gaming industry; you are a generalist programmer that have worked on projects from prototyping to shipping, preferably AAA titles. Making a fun game experience is your passion, and that is why you want to design, build and own the full verticals of the user facing products.

You have entrepreneurial ambitions; you are not intimidated by building a product from scratch, and your get-things-done mindset enables you to plan and deliver independently. You have experience, or a strong willingness, to iterate features with our community to ensure we build fun and valuable products.

You want to be directly involved in everything from; designing game tech, choosing tools & plugins to improve the development infrastructure, to programming user facing gameplay systems. You are comfortable getting your hands dirty, iterating fast, and shipping products. To succeed in this role, we believe you must have hands-on experience programming; animations, UI, graphics and preferably implementing audio and VFX.

You know, or is curious to learn, the loved programming language Rust. This is a smooth transition for you since you have extensive experience from programming in C# or C++ for leading game engines. This enables you to write gameplay code, and engine code either alone or together with the engine programmers.

You have a high risk tolerance. We are funded, paying a salary and offer above industry average equity, so we expect you to come on board full-time, fully committed, as soon as possible.

Your ultimate goal should be writing high quality code, building an awesome product using our community, and going forward also managing a team of superstar programmers.

What can we offer?

You will get 2-3% equity and €48.000 to €60.000 gross annual salary. Equity / salary mix can be tweaked based on your preference. Your salary will increase significantly after the next funding round which is in about 12 months.

You will also get a team of passionate colleagues and gamers that will make sure you will enjoy both your new job and your new city. Ownership and responsibility of several creative and innovative user facing products. An inclusive workplace with focus on collaboration and fun. A nice office with a rooftop terrace overlooking Stockholms archipelago, to enjoy the midnight sun and lively afterworks!

We will help you relocate If you are not currently living in Stockholm.

What does our process look like?

Interested? Drop a quick messager to tobias[at]dims.gg or apply using The Hub or LinkedIn. We will invite everyone who fits for a casual short video chat. This is to get to know each other a bit better and give you an overview of what we are building.

If there is mutual good feelings the next step is a 'working session' and we also ask a few about-you questions. We discuss the tech we are building and the user facing systems you would be working on. You might even help us identify some flaws and provide helpful suggestions.

For the last step we will invite our top candidate to work with us part-time (remotely) for one or a few days (depending on your situation). We will get hands-on, and see how we feel working with each other.
