About the Role

Level is seeking a systems-oriented engine engineer to build and evolve our technology platform. This role involves working with engine internals, modifying engine source, and making architectural decisions that impact the entire platform. The ideal candidate will have technical breadth and depth to solve complex, low-level problems with autonomy in a high-bar engineering culture that embraces AI-assisted development.

Responsibilities

Work across engine architecture, runtime systems, memory management, multithreading/concurrency, asset loading and streaming, serialization, and build systems
Modify and extend our forked Godot engine source to meet product and platform needs
Identify and resolve architectural and performance issues at the engine level
Build reusable engine systems and tooling to improve productivity
Solve cross-platform compatibility issues across web, desktop, Chromebooks, iPads, and mobile
Profile and optimize for CPU, memory, and general runtime performance
Navigate and improve a large, evolving, and sometimes unfamiliar codebase
Contribute to engineering practices, mentor other engineers, and act as a go-to resource for engine/platform systems
Actively experiment with and adopt AI-assisted development tools to improve engineering workflows

Requirements

Strong professional C++ experience
7+ years of experience working on game engines, real-time systems, runtime infrastructure, platform technology, or other low-level systems
Direct experience working with and modifying engine source code
Experience shipping games or other real-time software products
Strong debugging and profiling skills
Solid understanding of memory, CPU performance, threading, data layout, and systems-level constraints
Experience solving cross-platform issues
Demonstrated ability to reason about architecture, not just implement tickets
Experience building reusable systems rather than only isolated features
Senior or Staff-level technical caliber, with signals such as owning major systems, setting architecture, or leading technical decisions
