jobbeskrivelse:

Senior Unity Game Developer

Come join us in building the future core platform for one of the biggest social networks for kids in the world! At MovieStarPlanet we are building a new Unity based platform that will enable the future development of our social network and games.
As Senior Developer, you will get the opportunity to work in a passionate team of brilliant developers and use your vast experience of Unity to help build a scalable and maintainable Agile platform. 

About the Job
Enabling Creativity  
The core of our Social Network is friendship, fun and creativity.  All our games have highly customizable avatars, playful and creative user generated content as well as friendships, chat and other social features. We also strive to make our games the safest social network on the planet.
Our new platform encapsulates all of these aspects, and then leaves the rest to the imagination. Our goal is to allow our feature teams to take the platform and build any new game that fits our network, without having to worry about compatibility to the core network.

In short, you will be enabling the creativity of our game teams, who in turn enable the creativity of millions of kids worldwide.

You will be part of a small Scrum team and be a central player, impacting our architecture and core decisions for the product. With your unique insight into Unity, you will be able to work independently, but also to challenge, learn and collaborate with the other team members. 
Being one of our Unity frontrunners you will also help mentor other Game Developers in their transition from Flash to Unity. As Senior Developer you will report to the Programming Domain Manager.

About You
You are self-motivated and enthusiastic, both when it comes to solving complex problems, learning about new technology, building a great solution and communicating your ideas. At the same time, you really like working with other brilliant developers and exchange ideas with your peers, always respecting the viewpoint of others. You have a knack for explaining complex concepts in a simple way and can communicate smoothly across departments, with techs and non-techs alike.

You can foresee and identify issues, both local and across platforms, and can collaborate in working out their solutions. You always strive for the best quality, and take personal pride in developing a scalable, maintainable and stable platform that just rocks. You love collaborating and troubleshooting with your team mates, and are willing to go an extra mile to help a team mate who is stuck with a tricky problem. 
Furthermore:

• You have 5+ years’ experience building games using Unity
• At least 5 years technical expertise coding in C++, C# or similar compiled languages
• You hold a degree in Computer Science or a similar field of study within software development
• Knowledge of Game Design Patterns and Unity best practices
• Experience of collaborating in a SCRUM environment with minimal supervision
• You have excellent communication skills
• Your English skills are excellent - verbally and in writing  

The following would be a plus:

• Experience of memory management and optimization techniques
• Experience with test-driven development
• Applied knowledge of Network monitoring tools

About Us
MovieStarPlanet ApS is the company behind the games and social networks MovieStarPlanet, BooniePlanet and BlockStarPlanet targeted for kids aged 8-13 years. In the virtual worlds, users design their own MovieStar, BlockStar or Boonie avatar, which is used to play the games and have fun with friends.

Some of the key features include dress-up, chat with friends, create looks, make movies and scrapbooks, design clothes, build worlds and prefabs and play mini-games.

Launched in Denmark in 2009, MovieStarPlanet ApS has experienced explosive growth. Currently, the games are live in 16 countries across 11 European markets as well as the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Globally we rank among the most popular virtual worlds for the target group with more than 300 million registered profiles.

MovieStarPlanet ApS employs around 120 staff at the Headquarter based in the attractive surroundings of the new and modern part of Copenhagen called Ørestad, located very close to the city center and the metro line. Corporate language is English.

Why Work With Us?
Touch the lives of millions of kids every day, and be part of a fast-growing company, producing one of the most popular games and social networks in the world for kids.

Your colleagues are highly qualified, creative, and friendly people. We are ambitious and strive to develop and support the world’s most inspiring social network for kids by delivering safe digital entertainment for fun, creativity, and sharing. We believe in learning by doing and taking ownership of tasks and projects, so you will be given a lot of freedom and responsibility from day one!

We have around 20 nationalities working with us, which provides a vibrant atmosphere. We value diversity and believe this contributes to a greater variety of viewpoints, a broader range of individual talents and professional experience.

Our passion for people and the products make us an inspiring, fun, casual and challenging place to work and creates an environment where ideas can flourish.

‘Social’ is both what we do and who we are – so every week there is a social event going on ranging from Friday bars to casual game nights to running clubs. We have a canteen in the building so lunch is served just downstairs and we offer free fruit and healthy snacks daily. For our future foreign colleagues, it could be interesting to know that we offer 5 weeks of vacation for all nationalities (paid when earned), free child 1st sick day and the right to take up to 52 weeks of combined parental leave.

So, if you want to work with passionate colleagues who care for kids and work hard every day to give them the best platform to have fun with their friends then MovieStarPlanet is the right place for you.
