Software Developer Co-op (Jan 2021)

Are you a video game enthusiast whose passion is to develop interactive software?

''Motive'' is the driving force within us that takes us from an idea, to reality. We're not talking about the expected, the conventional, the cliché. We want none of that. Instead, we choose to prioritize innovation through experimentation, and creativity through fun. Motive provides a safe, trusting and empowering environment where everyone feels supported to make brave decisions and to take these creative jumps. Curious about what the future of games could look like? Great, so are we.

Video Game programming is intellectually demanding work. Our software developers are faced with daily challenges that involve physics (from collision detection to complex physical reactions), advanced rendering techniques (from complex 3D math to hardware shading), artificial intelligence (from path finding to scripting), optimizations (from complex algorithms to hardware specific changes) and more. We need your help to come up with creative solutions.

Specifically, we are seeking Software Engineers who will be responsible for writing specific or multi-purpose code for areas such as:
• Game Mechanics -- Gameplay, AI, player control, animation systems, physics, and scripting systems.
• Core Engine -- Graphical rendering, networking, user interface, memory & performance optimization on cutting edge computer hardware.
• Tools and Libraries -- World editors, video & audio tools, software performance analysis systems, database systems, and general-purpose game development libraries.

Qualifications
• Demonstrated knowledge of good software engineering practices
• Good communication and writing skills
• Excellent problem-solving skills
• Strong math skills
• Self-starter who can work with others in a team-oriented environment as well as independently
• Ability to adapt to quickly changing project requirements and continuous feedback
• Ability to learn and adapt quickly to new technology, platforms, and game areas
• The best candidates will have completed personal game or domain expertise projects independent of school
• And of course - enjoys working (and playing!) in a dynamic, cutting edge environment

Technical Qualifications
