Description For Founding Engineer

Nitrode is seeking a Founding Engineer to join their innovative AI game development platform. As a YC-funded startup, we're building a revolutionary engine that makes game development more accessible and efficient through AI technology.

The ideal candidate will be instrumental in developing our core technology, working directly with our founding team of four passionate entrepreneurs. You'll be working on a sophisticated platform that combines game development capabilities with AI to streamline the creation process.

Your role will involve working with large multithreaded codebases in C# or C++, and you'll be utilizing your experience with major game engines like Unity, Unreal, or Godot. This is an opportunity to shape the future of game development by making it more accessible to creators while maintaining professional-grade capabilities.

As a founding engineer, you'll have significant input in technical decisions and architecture, working in a fast-paced startup environment. You'll be joining a company that's actively transforming how games are created, allowing developers to focus on their creative vision rather than technical complexities.

The position offers competitive compensation with both salary and equity components, reflecting the founding nature of the role. Being part of Nitrode means you'll be at the forefront of combining AI technology with game development, creating tools that will empower the next generation of game creators.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who has a passion for both gaming and AI technology, wants to make a significant impact in the game development industry, and is excited about building something revolutionary from the ground up.
