NaturalMotion, the Zynga-owned outfit behind the iOS hit Clumsy Ninja and - in its own words - 'one of the fastest growing social mobile publishers on iOS and Android, is looking to strenghten its ranks.

The firm is searching for a games programmer who will set up shop in London and take on several key responsibilities.

Duties will include owning and delivering high quality code, developing project-independent games technology, and maintaining a balance between long term, high level, and practical demands.

Tools for the job

The ideal candidate will already have plenty of experience under their belt, while a bachelors degree in Software Engineering or Computer Science is also a must.

"Ideally you will have a bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering or Computer Science, or equivalent. You should have good exposure to programming within the games industry, with experience from working on at least one shipped/published title," explained NaturalMotion. 

"You will have excellent experience of C++, Python and Lua, and be able to write well documented code that’s easy to read, debug and maintain."

NaturalMotion was acquired by social gaming giant Zynga back in January for $527 million.
