Backend Engineer (Go) - Tools & CI

As a Backend Engineer at Embark you will be a game maker, building a sustainable foundation for the games we produce.

You’ll be an integral part of a highly creative continuous integration team and together we’ll help our developers make awesome games with minimal hassle. Your role is to help build internal tools and services that span everything from release tooling and game config to code coverage to Unreal analysis and content processing tools. Working on Tools and CI means new challenges every day, so be prepared to learn on your feet!

As our games are distributed between game client, game server and in the cloud, you’ll work together with your team to figure out which parts of the problem to solve in which location. We work on a broad tech stack. Our backend systems are written in Go for the most part, our tools are in Rust and since the game is built in Unreal we also work with Unreal C++. This role is mostly about working on the tools we implement as web pages, but you can expect journeys into other areas as well depending on what our developers need.

Example of responsibilities 

• Collaborate and work closely with fellow software engineers and technical directors
• Build and improve services, features and tools to improve build workflows and content delivery
• Continuously improve our engineering practices

We would love if you have

• A creative and curious mind
• Solid software engineering skills and experience with systems and backend programming (e.g. Go/C++/Java/…)
• The ability to be a great team player with good communication skills
• Professional English communication skills.

At Embark we offer competitive salaries, passionate colleagues to share knowledge with and much more, but most of all we invite you to take part of a journey into the unknown, to build creative, surprising and beautiful experiences together.

We welcome game makers of all sex, class, colour, age, gender identity, education, religion, opinion, culture, nation of origin, language, sexual orientation, shape, size, and ability.

Did we leave anyone out? Well, we welcome you, too! We think that the gaming industry is made better when everyone has a seat at the table.

Be yourself at Embark and make games while doing so. Please apply with confidence. We can’t wait to hear from you (in English)!
