Game Engine Programmer jobs in Los Angeles

Game Engine Programmer

Game Engine Programmer Game engine programmers create the base engine of the game, including the simulated physics and graphics disciplines. Increasingly, video games use existing game engines, either commercial, open source or free. They are often customized for a particular game, and these programmers handle these modifications. The engine programmer contributes to the design, addition, and modification of code and features that are built to enhance performance within a video game’s engine. This person works under the supervision of the engine lead and engine director to optimize memory and CPU capability, and to exploit the potential of current console platforms. Typical engines that may be used are Unity3DS, Unreal Engine 4 and Cryengine.
