“Let’s redefine what a game is and how we interact with them. We want to make games that everyone wants to play and invite the whole world into ours.

Together we’ll discover connection and innovation you’ve never experienced before and an amazing world you’ll never leave behind”.

We are Spliced Inc. and we’re looking for a Online Services Engineer.

The Role

You will be part of an innovative new project, working alongside a talented and passionate team on an original IP to create a world class online gameplay experience that will surprise and excite players.

One of the amazing things about this role is the chance to get in at a very early stage on a new game, at a new studio. We don’t have years of technical debt, legacy systems to maintain, or restrictive backwards compatibility constraints.  There is a clean slate to design and build elegant new systems without compromise (and even with test coverage!).  The ambitious scope and creative vision for the game provides plenty of room for professional growth through tackling challenging problems, and you will have a chance to apply your unique set skills and experience while also having the opportunity to explore and apply cutting edge new technologies.

    • Design, implement, and maintain distributed web services using multiple languages and protocols
    • Design, implement, and maintain database schemas of various types
    • Design, implement, and maintain queue-based and offline batch processing systems
    • Design, implement, and maintain caching systems
    • Develop Unreal Engine plugins in C++ for interacting with remote services
  • Develop robust, efficient, extensible, and thoroughly tested software that can be added to and operated effectively for years to come
  • Work with cloud infrastructure configuration across multiple providers for deploying scalable fleets of distributed services
  • Communicate, collaborate, and coordinate with other members of the Engineering team and other departments using Slack, code reviews, design reviews, bugs, and video calls

Basic Qualifications

  • C.S./related degree or equivalent professional experience
  • Solid competency in at least one major programming language
  • Solid foundational understanding of distributed web services
  • Fluency with basic database concepts and technologies
  • Passion for developing high-quality software through code-review and testing

Preferred Qualifications

  • Professional experience commensurate with desired role level
  • Development experience with any of the following specific technologies:
    • C++, Rust
    • Docker, Kuberetes, Agones
    • SQL, Redis, other database systems
  • Professional or academic project experience with distributed systems
  • Professional or academic project experience with online game development

At Spliced, we are committed to fostering an inclusive and welcoming environment for everyone, and encourage applications from candidates of all races, religions, beliefs, ages, disabilities, sexual orientations, and gender identities. Hiring, promotion and compensation decisions at Spliced are based on a candidate or employee’s qualifications and demonstrated ability to perform job responsibilities.

We believe that only a genuinely diverse team, working in a supportive and safe atmosphere, can create an experience that truly is for everyone. Whatever your background, if you feel your skills suit this role, we would love to hear from you.
