Staff Physics Programmer, C++ (Modeling & Simulation)

Required

• Extensive professional C++ development experience, or equivalent experience, building performance-critical production software.
• Significant experience in commercial game development, game-engine development, or a similarly performance-constrained real-time environment.
• Experience shipping at least one commercial game, engine, platform, or interactive real-time product.
• Demonstrated ownership of foundational engine systems rather than primarily gameplay features, scripting, tools, or application-level integrations.
• Experience building or substantially extending a physics engine, game engine, simulation runtime, ECS, job system, or comparable core technology.
• Expert command of modern C++, including object lifetimes, ownership, templates, concurrency, synchronization, profiling, and low-level debugging.
• Strong understanding of data-oriented design, memory layout, cache behavior, allocation strategies, and performance-sensitive data structures.
• Experience designing or extending an entity-component system or comparable composition-based runtime architecture.
• Experience with engine loops, execution graphs, task systems, event systems, dependency management, or runtime scheduling.
• Demonstrated ability to optimize against hard CPU, memory, latency, and frame- or tick-time budgets.
• Experience using commercial profiling and debugging tools to diagnose CPU stalls, memory issues, thread contention, allocation problems, and cache inefficiencies.
• Working knowledge of real-time physics concepts such as coordinate systems, numerical integration, collision detection, spatial partitioning, constraints, and simulation stability.
