If you don’t want to use the definite article “the”, then you can say instead:

“Jack is a game developer and is writing code for a video game.”

Or

“Jack is a game developer and is writing some code for a video game.”

Both of these still sound natural. These options give me the impression that Jack is only writing some of the code, and there are other people working on it as well. But the distinction is a little vague, and you could probably use any of the three options in most situations.
