Distributed computing is a gateway to all manner of awesome future possibilities, and within our Distributed Game Engine division you’ll have the chance to work directly on expanding this technology.
Our Runtime team creates the high performance, high throughput messaging systems, in-memory streaming database and high performance networking between clients and servers across a large range of target of platforms, all of which underpins our SpatialOS technology.
There is enormous demand for what we can deliver, as game developers strive to make larger, and more deeply interactive worlds. You’ll frequently find yourself working on concepts and problems that are new and exciting, stretching yourself to come up with new solutions in a collaborative space alongside some brilliant people.
You can find out more about our SpatialOS and our Multiplayer Networking technology here.
