</div>
We're looking for an additional **Gameplay Programmer** to join the team. As a Gameplay Programmer, you will work with our Gameplay team and Tech Lead to design and build gameplay systems in Hytale. Hytale's server-side modding API is written entirely in Java, so knowledge of Java fundamentals is strongly recommended for this role.
#### Activities
- Partner with the Gameplay team, understand their needs, and collaborate with them to build the systems they need to bring our game to life
- Work with the Tech Lead to implement advanced features, systems, and behaviors that cannot be accomplished solely with Hytale's scripting toolset
- Break down complex designs into actionable iterations
- Empower designers with data-driven creation tools and scripts
- Develop a deep understanding of the inner workings of Hytale and explore its modding capabilities
#### Recommended Traits
- Drive to create high quality, optimized gameplay features
- Ability to translate between engineering and design
- Strong programming fundamentals in an object-oriented programming language (specifically Java)
- High capacity to learn new APIs, Java libraries, and programming patterns
- Experience with software engineering or modding games is a bonus
