Job Details

Overview

1047 Games began with the simple principle that people should have fun while making great games. Bucking convention and driven by a passion to create the ultimate gaming experience, Ian Proulx and Nicholas Bagamian founded 1047 Games in 2017 in their Stanford dorm room. Their love for arena shooters of the past drove them to create Splitgate, a unique sci-fi first-person shooter that adds portal guns to upend the genre. 

What started as two computer science majors putting portals into a first-person shooter for a project demo has evolved into a VC-backed company which has raised more than $120MM in funding. 

At 1047 Games, you’ll find a permanently remote, dedicated team of top-tier talent from some of the world’s biggest gaming and tech companies who share our founders’ vision. Grit, ingenuity, a desire to have fun, and a start up mentality define our crew. We are currently working on a brand new shooter in the Splitgate universe.

What We're Looking For

  • A passionate engineer: You love to take on onerous, seemingly impossible technical problems and dig in to find creative ways to solve them
  • A hard worker: You love to put in the extra effort, not because you are told, but because you enjoy your work and know the impact of finishing the tasks on hand
  • A passionate gamer: You are a gamer who grew up playing games and can recognize what separates exceptional games from the average ones. You understand the mindset of gamers which enables you to create and implement features that will further benefit the game

What You'll Be Doing 

  •  Work closely with the other engineers across backend, infrastructure, and data to implement support for new and improved game features 
  • Build backend services, deploy them to Kubernetes, take them to production, and monitor the results 
  • Receive mentorship from senior members of the team and grow your skillset based on your preferences 
  • Have plenty of opportunity to work on any aspect of our technology stack, infrastructure, or backend services if you'd like! 

Requirements

  • Computer Science degree or equivalent practical experience 
  • 0-2 years of professional software development experience 
  • Working knowledge of a common programming language (C#, Go, Java, or similar) 
  • Familiarity with common data structures 
  • Understanding of API design principles 
  • Experience with Git for version control
  • Strong problem-solving skills and eagerness to learn
