Job Posting — General Gameplay Programmer

Date posted: July 2026
Pay: £50,000.00 - £70,000.00 per year
Job description: General Programmer
Status: Accepting applications — awaiting seed funding close before formal offers
Company: Vector Studios Limited
Location: United Kingdom
Work arrangement: On-site, full-time
Salary: Competitive (based on experience)
Benefits: On-site parking, company pension, sick pay, team lunch and snack days, travel season ticket loan
Start date: Month 1 of seed funding

About the Role

You will join the core engineering team building a large-scale real-time strategy game. You will work on systems that must remain stable, consistent and fast under heavy load — gameplay systems, networking, tools and engine infrastructure all within one codebase.

This is not:

Front-end web development or business applications
Blueprint-only scripting without engine-level understanding
Lightweight mobile or hyper-casual game development

This is:

Hardcore systems programming for a large-scale PC game
Performance-critical code running under heavy load
Simulation, networking, rendering integration and tools
Problem-solving at the intersection of mathematics, memory layout and parallel execution

Quality benchmark: You should have shipped at least one title at a recognised studio and be comfortable reading, writing and debugging complex C# or C++ systems. We are looking for engineers who think in terms of throughput, correctness and long-term maintainability.

Relevant reference titles: Supreme Commander, Sins of a Solar Empire, StarCraft, Factorio, Dyson Sphere Program — games where scale, persistence and simulation consistency matter.

Responsibilities

Implement and maintain core gameplay, simulation and engine systems
Profile and optimise CPU, memory and network performance
Collaborate on simulation architecture and replay systems
Build internal tools for design, content and QA workflows
Contribute to multiplayer netcode and server infrastructure
Maintain coding standards, documentation and code review practices
Solve hard problems involving large datasets, concurrency and numerical precision

Requirements

Essential:

5+ years professional programming experience in the games industry
At least one shipped title from a recognised game studio
Strong knowledge of C#; C++ experience is a significant plus
Solid understanding of game engine architecture
Experience with performance profiling and optimisation
Strong debugging skills in complex, multi-system codebases
Understanding of memory management, data-oriented design and threading
UK-based or willing to relocate

Desirable:

Experience with Unity or Unreal Engine
Degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics or related field
Strong mathematical background, especially linear algebra, geometry and numerical methods
Experience with consistent simulation, lockstep multiplayer or replay systems
Graphics programming, rendering pipelines or shader experience
Networking and multiplayer server experience
Build systems, CI/CD and tooling experience
Version control expertise (Git or Perforce)

What to Include in Your Application

CV with project history and shipped titles
Portfolio or code samples (GitHub, personal site, or shared repository)
Brief technical response: describe the most challenging performance or consistency problem you have solved in a shipped game and how you approached it
Short technical submission: provide pseudocode and a short explanation describing how you would design and implement a major RTS system (for example: unit selection, pathfinding, order queues, fog of war, or resource management). Include your reasoning for the data structures, performance considerations and how the system scales.
