Help define the future of Bungie Game Services! Are you excited about being on the front line of releasing online games to the world? Do you take pride in architecting and maintaining with high availability services an online presence used by millions of players? Are you excited to help drive consensus across your team and partner teams towards the best possible outcome for customers? Would you like to work on daring worlds that bring people together, sitting next to inspirational industry talent, at a company that values diversity and is invested in creating an inclusive workplace for every employee, while also maintaining a good work-life balance?

As the Services Engineering Lead you will be leading Bungie’s Services Engineers, and working closely with Site Reliability Engineers, data engineers, and product owners to maintain and iteratively improve Bungie’s online world. You’ll not only know our current services — you’ll help improve them with the goal of creating a better online experience for our players while helping Bungie deliver on our core purpose: to create worlds that inspire friendship.

With the uncertainty and rapidly changing circumstances surrounding COVID-19, most positions at Bungie are expected to onboard and work from home for a significant portion of 2021. In 2022, most Bungie employees will adopt a flexible schedule working from home part time (outside of positions identified as either 100% onsite or fully remote in WA & CA). Currently only a select range of positions are available for full-time remote work in WA & CA (please review location for details). Prospective employees located outside of CA & WA will need to establish WA state residency within 45 days of a start date. Bungie’s work from home, flexible work schedule, and remote policy is subject to change at the company’s discretion.
