Guerrilla is looking for a Senior Tools Programmer to help develop the Decima Engine's Editor! This role requires strong programming skills and a passion for good user experience.

Who we are

Decima

At Guerrilla, we’re passionate about creating cutting-edge technology tailored to the needs of our games and our partners. That’s why we built Decima: an award-winning, industry-leading engine designed from the ground up.

Decima pushes modern hardware to its limits, delivering best-in-class graphics and performance. It also empowers teams with artist- and designer-friendly workflows, robust production planning tools, and advanced debuggers for programmers.

We believe that the tools a studio uses are just as important as the games they create—and with Decima, we’re setting the stage for innovation and creativity.

The Tools Team

At Guerrilla, the Tools Team is responsible for the design, development, and maintenance of the Decima Editor.

The Decima Editor is used in-house and externally by hundreds of artists and designers to develop extraordinary open world games! It's a comprehensive native desktop application encompassing a 3D and 2D world editor, asset browser, node-based editors, a sequencer timeline, review tools, localization, and sound design pipelines.

Our Tools Team is also responsible for the application framework that the Decima Editor is built upon. This framework is used by other programming teams to develop tools within the Decima Editor.

We are proud of creating an innovative, powerful toolset and of supporting other teams of programmers, artists, and designers to achieve their vision!

  • Work in a team of software engineers, and interact closely with artists and designers
  • Collaborate to analyze workflows, and identify areas for improvement

  • Contribute to the vision for content-authoring tools within a large, dynamic games studio

At Guerrilla, we believe that our team’s varied backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives help us create games that resonate with a diverse audience.
