ONLINE INFRASTRUCTURE
What We Do
We enable Epic's online services teams to build, deploy, and manage services that are used by more than half a billion players around the world. Our mission is to provide world class tools and platforms to improve the experience of our developers and make it easier, faster, and safer to build, operate, and scale their applications. We operate at massive scale as one of the largest cloud computing users in the world.
What You'll Do
As part of a small globally distributed team of backend engineers, you'll support existing UCS-hosted services (such as Unreal Editor for Fortnite, RealityScan, MetaHuman Creator, Twinmotion, and Unreal Revision Control), and design/deploy new cloud systems that will help shape the future of collaborative content creation.
In this role, you will
• Design, implement, and maintain scalable, secure, highly-available backend services using RESTful API and gRPC protocols
• Own the entire lifecycle of services, from design and implementation to deployment
• Work on an existing AWS cloud infrastructure
• Work together with both upstream and downstream service owners, producers, and infrastructure to ship solutions
• Participate in a light-weight on-call rotation, along with the entire cloud services team
What we're looking for
• Proven track record of contributing live services at scale
• Passionate about building and maintaining secure, scalable, and highly available online applications, with 5+ years of experience in creating online services or web systems
• Proficient in cloud technologies, preferably AWS cloud services, Unix-flavored operating systems, CI/CD environments, and deploying and running containerized services
• Must be comfortable with Javascript/Typescript. Additional experience in other languages is a plus, especially Rust
• Ability to craft solutions using SQL and nonrelational databases
• Positive communication skills including the ability to provide, solicit, and accept feedback constructively
