Game Developer (Godot Expert)

$70–130/hr

rate as listed

Workload: ~15h/week
Engagement: Project-based
Location: Worldwide
Field: STEM and Coding

Complete practical 2D and 3D development tasks in Godot, then document the workflow used to build, debug, or optimize them. This remote contract supports AI training and requires screen recording, professional Godot experience, and clear technical explanations in English.

The work

You will create and modify 2D and 3D Godot projects for an AI training program. Day-to-day tasks may involve implementing gameplay mechanics, configuring scenes and nodes, building animations or UI elements, working with game physics, diagnosing defects, and improving performance. Each task also requires a clear, step-by-step account of your decisions and workflow.

What the screening is likely to test

Expect practical questions about Godot architecture, debugging, optimization, and the tradeoffs behind implementation choices. Required language qualifications are experience with GDScript or C#, plus English proficiency at B2 level or higher. The platform may also look for evidence that you can turn an expert workflow into precise instructions or prompts without omitting setup details, intermediate checks, or validation steps.

Evidence and preferred background

A portfolio of Godot projects is preferred, as are professional game development experience and prior human data work such as annotation, RLHF, or AI model evaluation. A relevant master's degree or PhD is preferred rather than required. Experience with multiplayer games, game physics, or UI/UX development may strengthen an application.

Logistics

This is a remote contract role. You need access to Godot and the ability to record your screen while completing tasks. The listing does not specify weekly hours, contract length, time-zone requirements, or a fixed schedule, so candidates should be ready to state realistic availability and confirm whether work is completed asynchronously during screening.

Interview prep — 10 questions

Matched to what this platform's screening actually measures. Answer each out loud in 60–90 seconds: claim → concrete example → implication.

What it tests: This tests whether your claimed Godot experience can be tied to a specific project, personal scope, engine version, technical constraints, and shipped or testable outcomes.
A strong answer: Anchor the answer in one project and distinguish your own work from the team's work. Name the relevant scenes, nodes, scripts, mechanics, debugging responsibilities, and a concrete result or deliverable.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points by describing the game at a high level while never establishing which Godot systems they personally designed or changed.

Summary, eligibility guidance and screening preparation are prepared by Sidequest from the platform's posting. Check the source listing before applying.
