Senior Software Engineer – Minecraft Engine

At Mojang Studios, the creators of Minecraft, we are on a mission to build a better world through the power of play.

Why play? Well, play is at the heart of everything we do. It’s the blocky backbone of our games, the core of our development philosophy, and even the origin of our name. From the relentless experimentation of our endlessly inspiring community to the classrooms where Minecraft has become an essential teaching tool, play is the bedrock of our existence.

We enable millions to create and play together, connect people across the globe, and foster a community that is among the most active and passionate in the world. Our community is global and incredibly diverse. When we are developing anything within our franchise, we keep this in mind. We want everyone to not only feel included in Minecraft, but also to see themselves in what we make. Our goal is for the Mojang Studios team to be as diverse as our community.

We are looking for an experienced Senior Software Engineer to join the team working to deliver engine and system improvements that enable the C++ version of Minecraft to scale into new features and experiences. You will join a team of on-site engineers in Redmond responsible for leveraging their engine and game systems knowledge to deliver targeted improvements across the technology stack. You will combine C++ expertise, knowledge of the inner workings of game technology, proficiency working on game systems that interact with graphics systems, and cross-team collaboration to deliver critical business impact. By partnering with other teams across Minecraft and leveraging your expertise, you will ensure that our engine is performant, scalable, and above all else enables us to continue delighting millions of customers across our many platforms.

Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond. 

In the end, it’s the people of Mojang Studios that make this place truly special. When you join, you’ll find yourself in the company of incredibly bright, warm, and creative individuals – all united and working toward a single goal. Come help us reach it!
