Software Development Engineer (Remote in US)

Multiplayer games are the city-center of digital communities today, and online platforms are the skyscraping feats of engineering that make them possible. Gamebreaking Studios is an experienced team of architects, engineers, and planners working together to build those platforms and fuel the growth of our favorite pastime. Whether a million players are crowding into an indie darling, a planet full of fans are eagerly awaiting features in a generational title, or we're cooking up something new in our back room, our engineers are called upon to make it all happen.

As a Software Development Engineer, we'll help you progress from reliably delivering features in existing frameworks to building your own frameworks and making them ready to delight millions of players every day. You'll primarily build online services, but the role is full stack; you'll learn to use game client or game engine technology when a project requires it. We are prepared to craft the role around the right person provided you have some professional experience and are eager to grow. Teaching others first and maintaining a mentorship culture are key ingredients to our success.

We encourage you to apply even if you do not meet all of the skills listed here. We understand that your qualifications may shine through in different ways and can be based on unique perspectives and experiences.
