Game Engine Programmer
Engine programmers develop the game engine from which a game runs. They create new functionality in the engine and rewrite the existing systems to make them as efficient as possible. When a new game is being devised, the engine programmer will figure out how to create the best engine for that particular game. They also fix bugs and deal with any technical glitches along the way. Pretty cool gig, right?
