C++ programmer

You’re a C++ wizard and you know it.
Now you’re ready for a whole new game.

MindArk is looking for a top-notch C++ programmer – quite possibly someone with a passion for games. We need some special wizardry to further enhance our massively multi-player online game platform based on cutting-edge technology.

Does that sound like a job for you?

MindArk created Entropia Universe 10 years ago. Today, it’s the No. 1 real-cash economy MMO platform. It’s a secure entertainment and e-business platform that allows numerous partners to build their own unique planets – all differently themed but seamlessly connected inside Entropia Universe.

Entropia is a 3D virtual internet environment with stunning graphics. It has one million registered user accounts and handles over $400 million per year in user-to-user transactions. But at MindArk we’re not resting on our laurels. By the end of 2013, we aim to double the number of users. And with your help we’ll succeed.

You’ll become a senior member of the Entropia Universe development team. There you’ll be implementing exciting new features, in close cooperation with our designers. And you’ll be developing new partner tools, to help them create great game designs and enrich the user experience. (All development is done using Visual Studio and Scrum.)

Here’s who we think you are:

You’re an MSc or BSc in computer science (or similar), with 5+ years of professional experience. You have excellent knowledge of C++, STL and boost libraries, along with a strong background in SW architecture and proven analytical and trouble-shooting skills. You’re a highly motivated and focused individual who sets high personal targets and assumes responsibility for results.

MindArk is based in Gothenburg, Sweden, with a subsidiary in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. Here you’ll find an open, inspiring and creative environment, where you can see your own ideas deployed in the ever-changing Entropia Universe. You’ll be working closely with the company founder, whose technical and commercial visions continue to inspire all of us.

Please email your application (cover letter and CV) to jobs@mindark.com and state “C++ programmer” as subject. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Klas Moreau at klas.moreau@mindark.com. For more information about MindArk, please visit www.mindark.com or www.entropiauniverse.com
