Online Programmer (Back-end) – Rainbow Six Siege

Job Description

As an online programmer, you'll be at the heart of building a solid back-end that supports Rainbow Six and its millions of players.

Within a team of around 10 programmers dedicated to creating, debugging, maintaining, and improving Rainbow Six's services on both the server and client sides, you’ll help ensure the game's stability and quality of service with a DevOps and live ops mindset.

Rainbow Six Siege is a constantly evolving game as a service, a competitive, esports-oriented 5v5 PVP shooter. Over the last 6 years, we have continuously added new content while simultaneously enhancing our technical and data foundations.

Surrounded by colleagues specialized in delivering core tech, throughout your onboarding - and beyond - you'll have the support of a host of experts who will help you develop and refine your skills while collectively elevating the quality and vision of the game.

About Rainbow Six

As a team, we firmly believe:

• In a sustainable work rhythm and a healthy and inclusive environment.
• In iterative development and delivering value to players quickly (we ship live every 2 weeks 😊).
• That nothing is off-limits, and it’s possible (and encouraged) to deliver major technical improvements in small increments.
• That this philosophy enables us to deliver a better quality game for our players.

What you’ll do

In a group that embraces iterative development, takes an open approach to design, and values feedback, you'll:

• Transition Rainbow Six Siege away from its legacy back-end and into a new microservices-based one, developed in Go and running on Kubernetes to support several million daily active users on 7 platforms.
• Acquire an in-depth understanding of existing features, plus suggest and develop improvements related to player progression, economy, matchmaking, cheat prevention, and social networking.
• Equip game designers with the means to achieve their vision and help them refine it.
• Orchestrate frequent, seamless upgrades of back-end code across all environments (including production), putting your work into the hands of gamers as quickly as possible.
• See to reliability and observability in order to minimize downtime for players through A/B testing and failure recovery.
• Evaluate your code using metrics and build dashboards to measure our quality of service.
• Continue to improve Siege in order to provide the best online experience for our players.
• Collaborate with a variety of different cells within Rainbow Six Siege, external departments, as well as several internal production and support teams.
• Keep an eye on DevOps and technological advances (especially the next generation of consoles).
• Enhance your skills by interacting with your client-side colleagues to develop your full-stack capabilities. (opportunity to change cells according to your interests.)
