As a Backend Engineer in the anti-cheat team at Embark you will join us in our game making mission in the anti-cheat team’s platform track. Focusing on building and operating the backend services supporting our efforts to enable fair and secure games for all our players.
The anti-cheat team is a small team dedicated to proactively and continuously ensuring a secure environment for our players. Free from security and game-breaking exploits within our titles. You will serve as an essential member of this highly innovative team, collaboratively developing and enhancing the enjoyable and fair experience we aim to deliver to our players.
As our game is distributed between game client, game server and in the cloud, you’ll work together with the team to figure out which parts of the problem to solve in each domain. At Embark we believe in creating smaller teams of well-aligned experts that can be trusted to create games and keep them running well.
Some of the technologies we use to make all of those things are Go, GCP, Bazel, Terraform, Kubernetes, Spanner, BigQuery, PromQL, LogQL and NextJS/React. As a backend engineer, your focus is to build services that not only work well, but also are easy to maintain, extend and deploy.
Example Of Responsibilities
We welcome game makers of all sex, class, colour, age, gender identity, education, religion, opinion, culture, nation of origin, language, sexual orientation, shape, size, and ability.
Did we leave anyone out? Well, we welcome you, too! We think that the gaming industry is made better when everyone has a seat at the table.
Be yourself at Embark and make games while doing so. Please apply with confidence. We can’t wait to hear from you (in English)!
