• Understanding of PowerShell, Azure build pipelines is desired, but not required

Skills

• High level of spoken and written English is required

As a team we love resilient and robust code bases, so we take advantage of code quality tools as much as possible (e.g., capturing constraints at the type level; linting; autoformatting). Code-review is standard across our projects.

About CaptureAge CaptureAge is a company that grew out of the Age of Empires community and is now partnered with Xbox Game Studios to provide game development services in AAA titles like Age of Empires II and Age of Empires IV. We have a small (35+) but growing team of passionate game developers, from artists to software engineers. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion The people making games should be as diverse as the people playing them and we encourage applications from all backgrounds and identities. As a fully remote and internationally distributed company we are a team that enjoys and celebrates a diversity of voices and perspectives. Compensation Our compensation is determined by considering competitive market rates, experience, and cost of living. As a fully international company, we strive to ensure competitive compensation aligned with the local cost of living and market standards. Fully Remote – Location / Time Zones We are a fully remote company with team members in 15+ countries across many time zones. We prefer team members who fit within broadly American/African/European time zones (UTC-8 to UTC+3) but we are open to applications from anywhere. Hours/Time Management We have a flexible approach to time-management, and we believe in giving team members the opportunity to control their own schedules. We'd like to see a world in which work can fit around your life, not the other way around! In practice this means a few pre-agreed sync points a week, with the rest of your working time entirely up to you – we do not have mandatory core hours. Async Biased We lean towards async working arrangements and design our processes and working environment with this in mind. Consensus Driven We try to foster a genuinely collaborative and consensus driven approach to our work rather than top-down direction and micro-management.
