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 seemingly impossible technical problems and dig in to find creative ways to solve them.
  • Proven advanced ability to prepare, evaluate and maintain tools supporting and process automation for software or hardware product release.
  • Design, manage and execute tools and scripts to develop different versions of products on wide-range operating systems.
  • Do what needs to get done, while you have fun.

What You'll Be Doing: 

  • Drive development of core game and build infrastructure 
  • Build core services used across the company to support the game and backend development process 
  • Help manage an ever growing fleet of Kubernetes clusters and backend services in the cloud 
  • Improve and maintain game build tools (Unreal Horde, Perforce, Unreal Game Sync, Robomerge, etc.) 
  • Evolve the game and companies' release process 
  • Maintain and improve platform and game observability tools - Datadog, Sentry, etc. 

Requirements

  • 4+ years of software development experience 
  • 4+ years building and maintaining high scale cloud infrastructure 
  • High proficiency with a common backend programming language (Go, C#, Java, etc.) 
  • Expert in cloud technologies with a strong preference for AWS 
  • Strong working knowledge of Git and preferably Perforce 
  • Familiarity with Unreal and Unreal build/automation tooling is a big plus
