Mojang Studios is best known as the creators of Minecraft, but we're also on a mission – to build a better world through the power of play.

Why play? Well, play is at the heart of everything we do. It's the blocky backbone of our games, the core of our development philosophy, and even the origin of our name. From the relentless experimentation of our endlessly inspiring community to the classrooms where Minecraft has become an essential teaching tool, play is the bedrock of our existence.

The Minecraft team is expanding to help realize our dream of a better Minecraft experience. As a member of this team, you will have the unique challenges of helping to design and implement gameplay systems, allowing our incredible community to realize their creations using mechanics and technologies that you created, and improving the performance and stability of the game as a whole. You'll join a cross-functional team and work closely with the other engineers, designers, artists, all working together on a game enjoyed by over 100,000,000 players worldwide. We have big dreams for the future of Minecraft and need you to help make them happen.

By joining the gameplay team, you will find an environment that enables you to leverage your knowledge and values to maintain and evolve a healthy and collaborative culture as we grow.

As a Senior Game Engineer in the Minecraft team you will:

- Drive technical solutions discussions, implement, test and iterate on new as well as existing Gameplay systems and features for upcoming Minecraft updates.
- Be involved in design discussions related to the core Minecraft experience and helping to define the direction of future updates
- With the team, own the quality and help to refine the quality process
- Be a part of a highly collaborative cross-functional team consisting of C++ and Java engineers, game designers, QA and artists.
- Support the team by ensuring sustainable development processes and workflows
- Lead by example and mentor other engineers, fostering a collaborative and high-performing team environment
- Provide technical leadership during code reviews across teams, understand the root cause of the issues, and find ways to resolve them

We believe you are someone that have:

- Excellent teamwork skills and an eagerness to reach goals in a collaborative manner
- Extensive knowledge of modern C++
- Experience and a strong drive in helping to design gameplay and its underlying systems and implementing quality-focused technical solutions to make those systems work
- Solid knowledge of engineering practices
- The ability to work with large cross-platform codebases and legacy code
- Passion for learning and sharing knowledge with your team and the organisation
- Strong communication and leadership skills
- Have a great interest in Minecraft Gameplay

For this role, we will consider fit for the team and company holistically. Meaning that we'll put a great emphasis on your interpersonal skills.
