Our Role
Rushdown Studios is looking for an experienced Backend Engineer to join us in support of our partner studio! In this role, you'll work to build out game backends and encounter a variety of unique technical challenges.
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!
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) or fully remote candidates in the Eastern United States. However, we're always open to expanding our list of remote-eligible states for the right candidate, as well.
Disclaimer: Please note that this is not a gameplay engineering role.
Responsibilities

- At least one (1) year of professional experience with C++.
- Ability to dive into a game engine to complete a task.
- Proficiency with scalable non-relational database solutions (e.g., MongoDB, DynamoDB, Redis).
- Willingness to selflessly put player experiences first — before even your own code and ego.
- Ability to comfortably navigate and integrate with one or more cloud service providers (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP).
- Proactive approach to communication, particularly when it comes to unblocking yourself and navigating obstacles as part of a team.
Nice-to-Haves
- Familiarity with game server scaling and orchestration frameworks.
- Experience with message brokers (e.g., RabbitMQ, Kafka, Amazon SQS).
- 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).
