Work Location: Rushdown Studios is based in Saratoga Springs, NY and we have a strong preference for local candidates willing to work from our office on a hybrid basis (i.e., Tuesday-Thursday).

Nice-to-Haves - Proficiency with C++. - Experience working in the games industry. - Familiarity with game server scaling and orchestration frameworks. - Experience with PlayFab, Epic Online Services, or other popular backend game services. - Experience integrating Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo APIs or adhering to their Technical Requirements Checklists (TRCs).

The Hiring Team will confirm the pay range as part of your interview process. - 9 Paid Holidays plus Flexible PTO and Annual Winter Break Closure - Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance - Annual Video Game Budget - 401(k) Retirement Plan - Paid Parental Leave EEO Statement At Rushdown Studios, we believe that we're made better by each of the different perspectives that our team members bring to the table.
