Game programmer Jobs in Burlington, ON

We have an exciting new creative role at Games by Stitch ! Our studio is known for thought-provoking, narrative-driven puzzle games and we are about to embark on our new PC title using the Unity game engine. We're a diverse team that values work-life balance and groundbreaking projects. You can see our past projects at gamesbystitch.com

First, the constraints :

• We can only employ someone permanently based in Ontario .
• This is a remote full-time position working from your home.
• There will be assigned tasks to gauge your abilities during this search.

Here are the Elements of Game Design that you'll need to love :

These elements capture our next game, but we'd love to work with someone long-term across service production and generating new game concepts. It's a role designed for those who love to solve problems independently and schedule themselves with minimal supervision. You will be working directly with a Producer to define scope on this project beginning April 2025.

How to Apply :

The only way we can assess your abilities is through your work in games. You must submit a link to a game and describe your role in designing it. Portfolios are welcome, but point us towards one game in particular.

The first assignment is to email careers+ with a self-assessment. Are you perfectly balanced 50-50 in your skills / passions between Narrative Design & Puzzle Design? Are you 80% Narrative and 20% Puzzles? Are you 10% Narrative, 30% Puzzles and 60% First Person Shooter in your skills as a designer? There are no wrong answers here, as long as it adds to 100%, and helps kick off a conversation.
