WHO WE ARE

We’re ArenaNet. We make the games we want to play a reality, and infuse them with innovation, hand-crafted detail, and creative passion. As developer and publisher of the award-winning Guild Wars game series, we’re proud to share our passion for the online worlds we’ve created with over 11 million players worldwide.

Online worlds are an always-on service for our players. ArenaNet’s engineers take great pride in writing high quality, highly optimized code that can remain in live service for over a decade. We need people like you who are just as passionate as we are about engineering online worlds with industry leading technology.

WHO YOU ARE

You’re a gameplay engineer. You love collaborating with game designers to design and prototype game mechanics, throw out the ideas that don’t work, and polish the heck out of the ones that do. You're an avid gamer and you tend to critically analyze games as you play, forming strong opinions about their strengths and weaknesses.

We'd love to hear from you if:

• You're passionate about and experienced with game system architecture. Some examples: AI, animation, camera, combat, components, items, locomotion, physics, procedural generation, progression, quests, scripting, spawning, and UI.
• You love taking design concepts and running with them independently, from ideas on paper to throwaway prototype code to robust client-server C++ systems.
• You’re accustomed to getting nebulous requests sometimes, fishing out software requirements, building a plan, and sharing your progress.
• You’ve been developing game systems and coding in C++ for 4+ years either via school, personal projects, or professionally.
• You have a B.S. in computer science or equivalent education or experience.
• You also have a strong background in math, especially linear algebra.
