Game Developer - Voxel-Based Engine (Java)

This is a remote position. We are seeking a Game Developer with strong fundamentals in computer science to work on a voxel-based game built using a custom engine. This role focuses on low-level game programming, rendering, performance optimization, and internal tooling – ideal for candidates who enjoy building systems from the ground up rather than relying on large pre-built game engines or frameworks. Responsibilities: Develop and extend systems within a custom voxel-based game engine. Implement rendering logic for Minecraft-style graphics. Work with spatial data, world generation, and voxel structures. Handle memory, performance, and resource management. Implementray casting/ raytracing-style techniques where applicable. Integrate 2D, 2.5D, and 3D assets (e.g., from Blender) into the engine. Developinternal tooling for asset loading, builds, packaging, and testing. Experiment with future-facing features such as AI or external API integrations. Actively clarify unclear concepts, requirements, or gaps in knowledge. Requirements A strong foundation in computer science principles, including data structures, algorithms, and memory management. Proficiency in Java or demonstrated ability and willingness to learn Java (JVM-based). Understanding of pointers and references, either conceptually or practically. Experience with or deep interest in custom-built engines, voxel-based systems, and low-level graphics programming. Familiarity with basic rendering pipelines and graphical conce
