Looking for: Senior Godot Developer with a background in software design / architecture 

Project: Septurian Might (Science-Fantasy ARPG)

Release Target: Christmas 2027

Time Commitment: Approx. 22-24 hours/month

About the Game:

Septurian Might is a captivating 2D indie platforming ARPG set on a mysterious alien planet. Taking inspiration from beloved titles such as Undertale, Hollow Knight, and Dark Souls, our game blends rich storytelling, immersive exploration, and challenging gameplay into a cohesive science-fantasy experience.

Role Description:

We are seeking a Senior Godot Developer fluent in GDScript to support our journey toward launch. Your primary responsibilities will involve:

• Reviewing new code commits to ensure quality, efficiency, and adherence to best practices.
• Analyzing the current codebase alongside the game's design requirements to propose optimal software structures and architecture.
• Assisting in optimizing core systems for better performance and maintainability.
• Developing new gameplay systems and features as the project progresses.
• Refactoring existing code selectively and strategically based on clearly defined needs.

Ideal Candidate:

• Proven experience with Godot Engine and fluent proficiency in GDScript, particularly in maintaining and optimizing existing codebases.
• Prior experience in software development and architecture, able to conceptualize effective and sustainable code structures.
• Skilled at identifying and addressing "code-smells" efficiently without unnecessary refactoring.
• Comfortable collaborating closely with project lead and team members, providing clear guidelines and architectural frameworks.
• Enthusiastic about contributing creatively and technically to a long-term indie game project.

Important Note:

Our development philosophy emphasizes forward momentum and effective use of time. You will be primarily responsible for setting clear, robust structural guidelines that the project programmer, i.e., me will follow closely when implementing features. Together, we'll ensure the codebase remains healthy, maintainable, and scalable for future development.

Join us in bringing Septurian Might to life and help shape an unforgettable gaming experience!

We look forward to your application!
