Online Game Services Engineer, C#/.NET

Our Role

Rushdown Studios is looking for an experienced Online Game Services Engineer to join us in support of our partner studio! In this role, you'll work to not only build game backends, but also integrate these services with the game client itself. Our ideal candidate is a self-motivated and demonstrated team player with the ability to juggle and jump between different tasks as necessary. Game development experience is preferred due to the nature of this project, but it's not mandatory; we encourage you to apply even if you don't meet all of the requirements listed below!

Responsibilities

• Ramp up quickly with an existing codebase.
• General support for live features and releases.
• Develop backend services for multiplayer games.
• Estimate and prioritize a backlog of existing features, bugs, and tech debt.
• Partner with designers to iterate on features and optimize for a smoother player experience.

Requirements

• Three (3) years of professional experience writing high-performance applications in C#.
• Experience writing and optimizing SQL queries in Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, or MySQL.
• Familiarity with Redis or other non-relational databases.
• Ability to write and handle communication between microservices.
• Ability to comfortably navigate and integrate with one or more cloud service providers (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP).
• Proficiency in setting up and deploying Docker services for containerization.
• Willingness to selflessly put player experiences first — before even your own code and ego.
