Rust Developer

JokeOut is a fast-paced competitive action game set in a dark steampunk world, somewhere between Madhouse and Dark Circus. It’s a place where chaos, machinery, and imagination collide — and every arena is a stage for skill, strategy, and style.

We are a passionate studio on a mission to create something bold and memorable. Our goal is to craft a multiplayer experience that’s not only competitive and skill-driven but also full of personality and creativity.

We’re looking for people who:

  • Love the weird and the dark, embracing unusual and imaginative ideas
  • Are open-minded, respectful, and collaborative
  • Want to grow with a team, contribute creatively, and help shape the world of JokeOut

If you thrive in an environment where madness meets machinery and your ideas can directly influence the game, we want you on our team. Come join us and help build a world that players will never forget.

Location: Remote
Contract: Freelance

As part of our core development team, you’ll work on our GOAP AI system, written entirely in Rust, which powers the intelligent and dynamic behavior of bots and NPCs. You’ll design systems that allow characters to react, plan, and adapt in unpredictable multiplayer environments — making every encounter feel alive and unscripted.

What You’ll Do

  • Design, implement, and maintain our GOAP AI system in Rust
  • Collaborate with designers and gameplay programmers to create emergent and believable AI behavior
  • Optimize and profile code for performance and scalability
  • Integrate AI logic with our Unity-based gameplay systems
  • Contribute ideas for gameplay, tools, and technical improvements

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong knowledge of Rust (or a deep willingness to master it)
  • Experience in game AI programming
  • Understanding of game development principles and real-time simulation
  • A collaborative mindset — open, curious, and eager to experiment
  • Bonus: experience with multiplayer systems, Unity, or C# integration

What We Offer

  • The chance to work on a unique AI-driven multiplayer experience
  • A passionate team near Munich, Germany
  • Creative freedom and an environment that encourages experimentation
  • Modern tools and workflows: Rust, Unity, MongoDB, Blender, and more
  • A culture built on respect, curiosity, and collaboration
