The Position
As a Gameplay systems programmer, you will be working on the backbone of our project: the data architecture that drives everything from weapon damage to mission scripting to AI to vehicle behavior to leaderboards. The presence of your work will be apparent in every moment of gameplay.

You will also participate in implementing the pipeline for securely delivering content updates to players from the cloud, and building internal tools to remedy customer service requests from players.


You should be adept at building, maintaining, and explaining complex systems that are understandable by other programmers and easy for designers and artists to work with. We’re looking for someone who can think beyond the quick hack and the easy fix, with a knack for making gameplay systems fit together in practical ways that strike a balance between elegance and flexibility.

Desired Qualifications
Server backend experience, especially for systems with a high number of concurrent users
Experience with writing network code for a live-service multiplayer game
Experience with Microsoft Azure PlayFab
Experience implementing data architecture for game engines
