Enable Star Citizen's large-scale dynamic universe
As a Gameplay Programmer for the Persistent Tech team (in our LA Studio), you will work on core gameplay technology that enables Star Citizen's large-scale dynamic universe. You will collaborate with Network and Backend engineers to further improve our Entity and Object Container Streaming and gameplay.

We're currently developing Star Citizen, a record-breaking multiplayer online space sim, and Squadron 42, a cinematic single-player adventure set in the same universe.

COVID-19 HIRING UPDATE
During the pandemic we transitioned to a temporary work-from-home model. We are now working through a gradual return to office plan as improvements of the COVID-19 situation will allow. We're continuing to interview and hire during this time and while Cloud Imperium is overall an in-office operating company, some roles will start out remotely and others will be in-office from day one of employment. As a general policy, we have a Flexitime policy arrangement that allows for some remote working if and when it meets the needs of the role and the company. The details can be discussed during the interview stage. We understand each person's circumstances may be unique and will work with you. Also, we follow mask requirements as they keep being updated per local regulations when in studio and we're also requiring full vaccination in order to work in studio.
