Piktiv's journey together with Iron Gate and their game Valheim began as a simple porting project, where we assisted Iron Gate in bringing Valheim over to Microsoft PC Game Pass. Since then, our relationship has only deepened with Iron Gate and our team has grown to 4 strong developers working on multiple sub-projects regarding Valheim.
As a Principal Game Developer at Piktiv and within the Valheim team, you are expected to apply your vast knowledge and experience by participating in the development of Valheim. You will spearhead deeply technical solutions and innovations in order to meet the demands of bringing the best Viking survival co-op to new and existing players. You will closely collaborate with your team and the developers at Iron Gate, sharing your expertise to solve the technical challenges ahead as Valheim heads for a 1.0 release.
Who you are
You are an industry veteran and you've been through your fair share of challenges and successes over the years. You are an expert in at least one domain of video game development, be it within rendering, consoles, physics, networking or similar.
You love solving technical problems and always strive to improve your skills in writing great code. You are always eager to try out new technologies and expand your knowledge beyond what you are already familiar with.
As an accomplished Principal Developer, you have a couple of published titles under your belt, and know what it takes to ship a title. Your experience positions you as a mentor to junior colleagues, helping them to grow and excel in their roles.
You excel in understanding and addressing stakeholder needs and you are able to guide them through your proposed solutions with ease. You are used to working in a collaborative environment where communication is paramount.
