  • Support developing and designing language API for it

What we're looking for

  • Strong C++ skills and programming principles knowledge

  • Self-motivated, strong work ethic, and able to work independently
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills with demonstrated ability to communicate fluently in English (written and verbal)
  • You’re user-focused, passionate, solutions-focused, and innovative, these traits equal success at Epic and influence everything we do
