  • Sunnyvale, CA

Job Description

Plato is a social games platform made by the creators of Yahoo! Games and backed by early investors of WhatsApp.

We have over 50 million players who spend more than 1 billion minutes in our app every month (growing mainly through word of mouth).

We love going against the grain and charting our own path to success. As an example, we’re making a stand to reject the current advertising industrial complex -

Role

We are looking for an experienced, enthusiastic software engineer to join the games team at Plato.

Develop new multiplayer/social games and extend/improve existing games on our framework and libraries, ensuring that it works correctly, and also making sure that it’s a fun, delightful experience.

As a engineer on the games team, you’ll be expected to work closely with senior engineering to get you started on projects, all the while becoming more independent and capable of self-direction.

Responsibilities

  • Be fully hands-on coding in a small, fast-paced startup environment.
  • Develop games using the Plato platform/framework features and libraries.
  • Contribute to the games platform itself: how can we build better games faster?
  • Be mindful of performance on the server: all games are multiplayer and have a server component.
  • Be a champion for the games you create, and create great experiences for players.

Requirements

  • Have a portfolio of your games: be able to show past projects that you are proud to demonstrate and talk about in technical depth.
  • Have a strong interest in optimization: optimize for speed, optimize for size.
  • Ability to create clean, precise code with a language in which you are an expert.
  • 3+ years of game development experience.
  • Experience with JavaScript and TypeScript.
  • Experience with graphics APIs, like OpenGL or WebGL.
  • Ideally an MS (or higher) in a STEM field, or BS (or higher) in computer science/engineering.
  • Be passionate and enthusiastic - we create games and a thriving social platform, after all!
