About the Role

Level is looking for a Software Engineer to help build and evolve the foundational technology that powers Level's games. You'll work at the intersection of game engine development and internal tooling, writing low-level code that ensures gameplay speed, efficient development cycles, and reliable pipelines. This role is for engineers who naturally think in memory layouts and cache lines and find satisfaction in building dependable systems for other engineers.

Responsibilities

Design, implement, and maintain core game engine systems, including memory management, asset loading, threading, and runtime performance.
Build and improve internal tools and build systems supporting the full development lifecycle across a distributed team.
Profile and optimize performance-critical code paths on target platforms.
Collaborate with gameplay engineers, artists, and technical designers to enhance engine systems based on practical usage.
Establish and advocate for engineering best practices in systems-level code quality, testing, and documentation.
Contribute to technical roadmaps and architecture decisions with a focus on long-term maintainability and scalability.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related technical field, or equivalent professional experience.
5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with significant time spent on game engine systems, runtime infrastructure, or low-level tooling.
Strong proficiency in modern C++.
Comfort with performance analysis and debugging at the systems level.
Hands-on experience with build systems (e.g., CMake, Bazel, or similar) and CI/CD pipelines in a game or real-time software context.
Deep understanding of memory management, multithreading, and platform-level constraints.
Experience shipping products on at least one major platform (PC, console, or mobile).
Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain complex system tradeoffs to both technical and non-technical collaborators.
