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.

• Craft solutions using modern SQL and non-relational databases (we use MongoDB, Dynamo and Redis)
• Work with the client, dedicated server and backend teams to ensure that a feature has been implemented in an efficient manner.

What We're Looking For
• Expertise with C++
• A flexible working attitude with a focus on live service stability
