Unreal-powered projects have been on the bleeding edge of real-time entertainment for over 20 years. Our team of engineering experts are always innovating to improve the tools and technology that empower content developers worldwide.
What You'll Do
As part of a small globally distributed team of backend engineers, you'll support existing UCS-hosted services (such as Unreal Editor for Fortnite, RealityScan, MetaHuman Creator, Twinmotion, and Unreal Revision Control), and design/deploy new cloud systems that will help shape the future of collaborative content creation.
In this role, you will
• Design, implement, and maintain scalable, secure, highly-available backend services using RESTful API and gRPC protocols
• Own the entire lifecycle of services, from design and implementation to deployment
• Work on an existing AWS cloud infrastructure
• Work together with both upstream and downstream service owners, producers, and infrastructure to ship solutions
• Participate in a light-weight on-call rotation, along with the entire cloud services team
What we're looking for
• Passionate about building and maintaining secure, scalable, and highly available online applications, with 7+ years of experience in creating online services or web systems
• Proven track record of contributing live services at scale
• Proficient in cloud technologies, preferably AWS cloud services, Unix-flavored operating systems, CI/CD environments, and deploying and running containerized services
• Must be comfortable with Javascript/Typescript. Additional experience in other languages is a plus, especially Rust
• Ability to craft solutions using SQL and nonrelational databases
• Positive communication skills including the ability to provide, solicit, and accept feedback constructively
This role is open to multiple locations across the US (including CA).
