ENGINEERING - EPIC GAMES SERVICES

What We Do

Driving the plug-in power behind Unreal Engine 5. We bridge connections for licensees and our own internal game teams to online services. This allows games like Fortnite to utilize a combination of platform online services as well as Epic's own online services to build cross-platform online features. Login, parties, voice chat, matchmaking, purchasing, cloud storage, and analytics are just a few examples of online features that our Online Game Services team helps games utilize.

• Work with other teams across Epic
• Work with product managers, designers and others across the KWS team to get input into your work and provide input to their work
• Help scale the services to match the load required from some of the world's biggest games

What we're looking for
