Online Engineering at Epic
What we do
Driving the plug-in power behind Unreal Engine 4. We bridge connections for licensees and our own internal game teams to online services. This allows games like Fortnite to utilize a combination of platform online services as well as Epic’s own online services to build cross-platform online features. Login, parties, voice chat, matchmaking, purchasing, cloud storage, and analytics are just a few examples of online features that our Online Game Services team helps games utilize.

As a part of the Player Engagement team you’ll have plenty of opportunities to learn as well as contribute your ideas to product development.
As a Full Stack Web Engineer you will handle both frontend and backend pieces of the products as well as the full service delivery process of services - planning product roadmaps, design, configuring development tools, setting up CI/CD and automated testing, provisioning AWS, configuring monitoring tools and communicating with other teams.

- Communicate and collaborate with teams across Epic to ensure online services are implemented and go live across the entire Epic ecosystem (Fortnite, Epic Games Store, Unreal Engine, and Epic Online Services)
What we’re looking for
- Experience in architecting Node.js applications. You understand the strong and weak sides of Node.js
- Knowledge of JavaScript, ES6/ES7 and TypeScript
- Regular usage of React framework and experience in building user interfaces
- Experience in setting up CI/CD pipelines
- Experience of working with AWS
- Experience of working with SQL and NoSQL databases
