  • Contributing to design decisions helping the team to achieve the technical success of the game together with the rest of the team
  • Writing clean and maintainable C# code and implement game features with other developers in the team (30-40% of your time)
  • Working with server developers for seamless backend integration
  • Optimising the games to run smoothly on mobile platforms
  • Introducing new best practices to ensure seamless delivery of the team
  • Constantly refining the code quality by following good programming principles and implementing the TDD practice
