Our Engineering Team
Our engineering team is built to be independent and fast moving – with a fully remote studio, we are looking for people who thrive in an environment where they can be given a task and figure out proactively how to attack it, without lots of oversight or constant direction. When we have folks all over the world, there is always someone online to bounce ideas off of, but with small windows of overlap for the whole team, meetings are kept to a minimum. We don’t care what hours you work – as long as you are pumping out great stuff.
Our tech stack includes Unreal Engine 5.5, Epic Online Services, Hathora, and AWS DynamoDB/Lambdas/S3.
