Help us write the next big chapter of Epic Story Interactive!
Exciting things are happening as we begin development on new, original games – a first for Epic Story Interactive! Previously we’ve released numerous successful, highly-rated mobile games including Beyblade Burst Rivals, Slugterra: Slug it Out! and its sequel, Slugterra: Slug it Out 2. We continue to update these much-loved games alongside a vibrant fan community.
As a Software Engineer, you will work closely with designers, QA and other software engineers to develop features and maintain functionality across new and existing titles. You will touch numerous systems including gameplay logic, front-end, client-server communication, analytics, and plugin integration. Your engineering proficiency, keen interest in games and creative problem-solving skills will be instrumental in building great games that our players love.
We are a relatively young team so there is ample opportunity to contribute ideas, help drive our games’ direction, and grow your skills. We value the desire to learn, take ownership and lead by example above numerous years of experience or impressive credentials. If you are someone who collaborates well with others, shares knowledge, assumes ownership and takes pride in your work, then we would love to work with you!
