C++ Game Developer
Location: Midlands (hybrid – office attendance a few times per week)
Salary: up to £38,000 per annum (depending on experience)
Type: Permanent, Full-Time

We’re working with an established iGaming company who are looking to add a Game Developer to their collaborative and creative team. This is a fantastic opportunity for a C++ developer who enjoys building high-quality, interactive experiences and wants to play a hands-on role in game development.

We’re ideally looking for candidates with around 2 years of commercial experience in C++, along with some exposure to JavaScript. However, we’re also open to considering strong graduates who can demonstrate solid C++ capability, whether through academic work, personal projects, or early commercial experience.

Previous iGaming experience isn’t essential, making this a great opportunity for someone looking to break into the industry while working on engaging, real-world products.

The Role
You will develop, maintain and optimise interactive games, working closely with design, art and QA teams to deliver high-quality releases. A key part of the role involves translating and refactoring JavaScript game logic into modern C++, ensuring strong performance, stability and clean, maintainable code.

Key Responsibilities
  • Develop game features using modern C++ (C++20 and C++23)
  • Convert JavaScript logic into efficient C++ implementations
  • Debug, profile and optimise performance
  • Write clear, testable and well-documented code
  • Contribute to code reviews and team collaboration
  • Deliver work within agreed timelines

Required Skills & Experience
  • Proven commercial experience in C++ development (modern C++ / Versions C++20 and C++23)
  • Experience developing games or interactive applications
  • Strong understanding of asynchronous programming (e.g. coroutines)
  • Working knowledge of JavaScript (ES6+)
  • Experience working with JSON
  • Git or other source control systems
  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work in a collaborative team
Desirable
  • Experience migrating JavaScript codebases into C++
  • Experience with JavaScript game engines (e.g. Pixi.js or Phaser)
  • Knowledge of HTML5 game architectures
  • Experience using Node.js
  • Automated testing experience
  • Experience working in Agile environments
  • iGaming or gambling sector experience
Benefits
  • 25 days holiday + bank holidays
  • Your birthday off
  • Option to buy or sell additional annual leave
  • Enhanced pension scheme
  • Life assurance from day one
  • Enhanced family leave (maternity, paternity, adoption, shared parental)
  • Salary sacrifice schemes (including pension and cycle-to-work)
  • Private healthcare savings scheme + Employee Assistance Programme
  • Company recognition awards
  • Regular company-funded social events

This role would suit a developer who enjoys working in a collaborative environment and is looking for a stable, long-term opportunity with strong benefits and career development potential.
