Description
Wand builds the augmentation and intelligence layer for PC gaming, enabling real-time game-state reading that powers a unified ecosystem across desktop, web, and native in-game overlays (contextual help, interactive maps, and video clipping without alt-tabbing out of the game). We are hiring a senior IC to own meaningful parts of the native infrastructure underneath a platform team working at the seam between Windows, third-party game engines, and Wand’s product. Responsibilities include designing architecture and building foundation that other teams build on. Recently shipped: a plugin system for safe in-process extensions; current work includes a Lua scripting layer on top of it. What we’re looking for includes: 7+ years C++ with meaningful time on tools/engines/platform systems where other engineers were users; deep Windows native experience (Win32/64, DLL lifecycles, hooking, IPC, process/thread management, WinDbg/Process Monitor); strong concurrent programming and ability to find races/order bugs in review; plugin/extensibility experience designing interfaces others build on; outcome-oriented, low-ego. Bonus areas mentioned: Unreal/Unity internals; full-stack TS/Electron down to C++; scripting/SDK layer (Lua/AngelScript/DSL); OBS or video capture internals; gRPC/Protobuf/FlatBuffers.
