Game Developer - Voxel-Based Engine (Java)

Develop and enhance systems within a custom voxel-based game engine, contributing to core architecture and gameplay technology.

Implement rendering systems and graphical features supporting Minecraft-style voxel environments and immersive visual experiences.

Work with spatial data structures, world generation systems, and voxel-based environments to improve engine capabilities.

Optimize memory usage, performance, and resource management to ensure efficient engine operation.

Implement ray casting, ray tracing, and related graphical techniques where applicable.

Integrate 2D, 2.5D, and 3D assets, including assets created with tools such as Blender, into the engine pipeline.

Build and maintain internal development tools for asset management, loading systems, builds, packaging, and testing workflows.

Explore and prototype future-facing features, including AI capabilities and external API integrations.

Identify unclear requirements, ask the right questions, and proactively help define technical solutions.

Collaborate effectively with remote team members while independently managing development tasks and priorities.
