Sr. C++ Engineer - Gameplay & Tools
We’re Summit Squad — a crew of game makers on a mission to craft unforgettable mobile experiences that spark joy and keep players coming back for more.
Based in Calgary, Canada, we’re a tight-knit studio where creativity rules, collaboration is everything, and everyone has a seat at the game dev table — from the first spark of an idea to a live game in players’ hands. Our focus? Making games that hit hard with impact — on our team, our players, and the future of our studio.
At Summit Squad, talent attracts talent. We’re a team of passionate professionals who genuinely care about what we do — and about inspiring play every single day. We thrive in small, empowered squads where everyone has a voice, and where fast feedback from our community helps us level up our games in real time.
We build games together — by trusting each other, pushing boundaries, and celebrating the magic of teamwork. Every update, every feature, every playtest is a chance to make something awesome even better. And the best part? Knowing what we create can be enjoyed by millions.
If you're all about fun, impact, and making amazing things with great people — let’s make something players love. 🎮✨
At Summit Squad, we’re not just building mobile games—we’re building the future of play. And as a Principal C++ Engineer, you’ll be right at the core of that mission, shaping both our next big mid-core title and the tools that bring it to life.
Your main mission? Write powerful, clean, and modular C++ code that drives the systems behind our games and tools. You’ll architect features, optimize performance across mobile platforms, and integrate next-gen tech—whether that’s advanced rendering, scripting systems, or extensible UI frameworks.
But this role is more than just writing great code.
You’ll be the tech heartbeat of the team—leading by example, championing engineering best practices, and helping level up everyone around you. You’ll design and build tools that empower fellow developers, supercharge iteration, and remove friction so creativity can flow faster than ever. Whether you’re enhancing the engine, tightening our workflows, or making dev tools more intuitive, your work will make building great games smoother, smarter, and way more fun.
We’re looking for someone who thrives on collaboration, loves clean architecture, and gets excited by the idea of powering a team to build unforgettable mobile experiences. You’ll be part engineer, part mentor, part trailblazer—and 100% essential to making something millions of players will love.
At Summit Squad, your code won’t just ship games. It’ll shape how they’re made.
