Halifax, Canada. Canadian needed. REMOTE possible.
Twisted Oak Studios is looking for a strong developer interested in project management for our 4 year old worker-owned consulting company.
Our company's focus is high-tech interactive projects. Over the past year, our work has included game development (particularly in Unity 3D), graphics/shader programming, and language and audio processing. We’re mostly platform agnostic (mobile, desktop, embedded, custom hardware). We don’t do much web tech.
We're interested in working with people who care about their craft. Ideally this includes thinking at both the design level:
- data driven work estimation
- keeping long term technical requirements in mind
- thinking about how a piece of work contributes to product/project end-value
And the implementation level:
- code standards
- readability
- maintainability
- exploring new effective development paradigms &amp; techniques.
For this position we’d like to hear a little bit about you, see something that you’ve worked on that you’re proud of, and hear about how you approach large-ish projects with a team.
We offer strong compensation, prioritize developer quality of life (limiting work-weeks, flexible hours), and do varied interesting work. Lots of opportunities and support for professional development and side-projects.
Lastly, if the relationship is great after 6-12 months, we’ll want to transition away from wages in to shared-ownership.
Hit me up at REDACTED_EMAIL. I’m committed to responding to every serious note I receive.
