This is a full-time, hybrid position in Orlando (FL), Chicago (IL), or Nashville (TN) with relocation options for out-of-state applicants.
Software Engineers at Iron Galaxy work on a wide variety of projects, including creating new games from the ground up, co-developing games with partners, and porting existing games to new platforms. Our projects tend to have shorter development cycles; it’s not uncommon for a software engineer to work on more than one project in a year. We’ve found that this helps keep things fresh and provides opportunities to utilize experience gained from previous projects.

In addition to your technical skills, our team asks for solid communication work within diverse cross-functional teams. This is an entry-level position.
