What you’ll do
- Develop fast, reliable, and most importantly, fun online features in collaboration with gameplay and design teams.
- Understand existing functions, suggest, and develop improvements with the goal of bringing the best online experience to our players.
- Collaborate daily with a variety of production and support teams.
- Resolve online and network bugs.
- Document your work.
Qualifications
What you bring
- Around 3 years of experience in developing and optimizing C++, C#, Java, and Python code
- Experience with online frameworks, services, and network optimization
- A degree in Computer Science or Software Engineering (or related training)
- Proficiency to communicate with all disciplines and support and elevate the team in terms of quality and vision of the game
- A creative and innovative spirit
Nice to have, but not essential:
- Experience developing online features that interact with Xbox Live or Playstation Network
- Experience as part of a team that has shipped an online game
