Posted: almost 4 years
Programming
Full-Time
Lead / Principal
$140,000 - $250,000 Base
Worldspark Studios is hiring multiple levels of various engineering positions: Client, UI, Graphics, Blockchain, Gameplay, and Generalist. We're currently seeking out AAA veterans to help us build what we call "world-as-a-service", a unique hub-and-spoke take on an interconnected ecosystem of AAA-quality games on the blockchain. We know Blockchain can have several meanings (often negative), so it's important to note that Worldspark's blockchain integration does NOT affect the core game loop, meaning we value gameplay and fun first and foremost.

The following is a generic job post for all levels, starting at mid-level, all the way through Senior, Lead, Principal, and Technical Director. We've included high-level requirements and a few examples of responsibilities, but note that these are position dependent and can be covered individually through the process!

As a Backend Engineer at Worldspark Studios, you will be responsible for overseeing and developing several aspects of our services backend. You will collaborate with client engineers and other disciplines to help define and prioritize features in our service architecture. You will be working across areas such as service development, service deployment, client integration, external service integration, blockchain integration, networking, analytics, and more. Above all, you will be working with a fun, talented, and inclusive cross-discipline team to build a game that players get to have fun in while also earning real value from playing the game.  

Responsibilities 
  • With minimal oversite, gather requirements, develop, and deploy services to support game development 
  • Work with external service teams to ensure their technology is secure and integrates well with our client, services, and blockchain ecosystem 
  • Help us choose, implement, and maintain industry standard video game service solutions 
  • Test, maintain, and diagnose service issues in development and the live game environments 
Required Skills 
  • 5+ years professional experience developing high-performance services in C++, C#, Java, or any other industry standard language. 
  • Experience building high scale online and cloud hosted games 
  • Strong communicator in both written and spoken communication 
Nice to haves 
  • Interest in blockchain gaming and NFT gaming  
  • Entrepreneurial experience (or a desire to work in this space) 
  • Professional experience developing games in the Unreal Engine 
  • Experience building online and cloud hosted games 
  • Experience working on “games as a service”
