What We Do

Driving the plug-in power behind Unreal Engine 5. We bridge connections for licensees and our own internal game teams to online services. This allows games like Fortnite to utilize a combination of platform online services as well as Epic’s own online services to build cross-platform online features. Login, parties, voice chat, matchmaking, purchasing, cloud storage, and analytics are just a few examples of online features that our Online Game Services team helps games utilize.

What You'll Do

Our team builds an SDK that exposes game services for both internal and third party game development teams all over the world: Epic Online Services. We currently focus on systems like matchmaking, player inventory, achievements, voice chat, parties, and more. As part of the Client SDK team, you’ll work on platform development and supporting player experiences across the many partners’ games that use the EOS SDK. This includes supporting internal development teams as they integrate the EOS SDK and help to expand the feature set. Tasks may include development on systems like matchmaking, player inventory, leaderboards, achievements, voice chat, parties, and more. If it’s an online game feature, then you will touch it.
