SOCIAL ECOSYSTEM

What We Do

Social Ecosystem is the Epic organization that owns the answers to three questions: Who are our players? How are they organized? and What can they do together? These areas of concern cover responsibilities including account management, parties, voice chat, child safety, in-game social overlay, stewardship of personal data, and more. Our platform is designed to be used by developers within and beyond the walls of the Epic ecosystem, and supports exciting titles like Fortnite, Rocket League, and Fall Guys.

As a member of the Identity team you will craft high performance online services at scale. We are a highly collaborative environment with a keen focus on quality, reliability, and usability. From design, implementation, and deployment you'll be able to shape the services and features that drive the future of Identity on the Epic Games ecosystem.

• Write distributed systems to handle large scale challenges (we primarily use Java)
• Work with public cloud infrastructure to facilitate a fast moving ecosystem (we use AWS)
• Own the entire lifecycle of services, including live operations and deployment
• Craft solutions using modern SQL and non-relational databases (we use MongoDB, Dynamo and Redis)
• Work together with both upstream and downstream service owners, producers and other cloud, infrastructure and DevOps engineers to ship solutions
• Own the outcome - Be accountable for the solutions you build and flexible around the ambiguity of the problem space

What we're looking for
• 4+ years of software engineering experience, with experience in developing online systems
• Solid background in writing distributed systems in large scale environments
• Proven track record of operating live services
• Experience working with a team of engineers to solve large and ambiguous problems
• Excellent communication skills including the ability to provide, solicit and accept feedback constructively
