What we're looking for
• Excellent C++ skills
• Experience developing in a large codebase
• Experience with at least one UI Framework (i.e. WPF/XAML, Slate, WinForms, Qt)
• Experience developing tools that improve the user experience, iteration, and development time in game development or other 3D simulation programs
• Ability to collaborate and communicate cross-discipline, from content creators to programmers, from UX designers to QA analysts
