Rockstar is on the lookout for a skilled Senior Network Programmer who is passionate about game development.

WHAT WE DO

• The Rockstar Games Network Programming team supports the synchronization of gameplay state and mechanics between players in multiplayer sessions to enable a shared gameplay experience.
