I just joined the community as I was keen to pass on the word that Rockstar North is currently looking to hire a Senior Physics Engineer to join the team in Edinburgh (other locations such as San Diego could be discussed as well).
We're after someone with a proven track record of working with Physics Engines in games, so that they can quickly get up to scratch with our current in-house tech and help us push it forward to the next level. It goes without saying that the successful applicant will be provided with many various technical challenges when working with large open worlds such as GTA Online.
Anyone interested in finding out more feel free to reach out to myself through a PM or send your CV through here.
Job description below as well
