  • Solve complex networking challenges like prediction, synchronization, and latency
  • Partner with design, art, and production to shape online features
  • Write clean, performant, and well-tested code
  • Mentor team members and contribute to engineering culture
  • Conduct code reviews to uphold quality and consistency

What Will Make You A Great Fit

  • Proficiency in C++
  • Strong understanding of Unreal Engine networking
  • Professional experience developing features for large-scale, multiplayer games
  • Knowledge of distributed server architectures and managing player transitions across server instances
  • Familiarity with low-latency networking concepts such as Rollback, Lockstep, or Client-Side Prediction
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills across disciplines
  • Adaptable and comfortable navigating a growing organization
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience

Beneficial Qualifications

  • Hands-on experience with UE5 replication or custom netcode
  • Track record of shipping AAA multiplayer titles
  • Passion for playing or watching sports
