What We Do

Driving the plug-in power behind Unreal Engine 5. We bridge connections for licensees and our own internal game teams to online services.

• Craft solutions using modern SQL and non-relational databases (we use MongoDB, Dynamo, and Redis)
• Collaborate in healthy ways with producers, product owners, and other engineers, cloud, infrastructure, or DevOps teammates to ship solutions
• Provide feedback and estimates on feature development and other operational tasks
• Own the outcome - Be accountable for the solutions you build and flexible around the ambiguity of the problem space

• 4+  years of software engineering experience, with experience in developing online systems
• Solid background in writing distributed systems (REST / RPC / GraphQL)  in large-scale environments
• Proven track record of operating live services
• Experience working with a distributed team of engineers to solve large and ambiguous problems
• Experience owning and supporting team projects and features, from technical design to development to deployment, with minimal oversight 
• May mentor others on the team (i.e., interns, associates)
