Senior Network/Server Programmer

We have been around for 27 years. From critically acclaimed The Longest Journey and the very first sci-fi MMO Anarchy Online, to brutal survival in Conan Exiles. We make games with an edge, and we have a great time doing it!

Funcom is looking for a talented and experienced server/network programmer to work on and help shape the next iteration of our server technology. The team’s current primary focus is building the infrastructure for our next large scale multiplayer game based on the Dune IP. As part of our core technology team, you will design, write and optimize engine features, working closely the rest of the team as well as the game programmers and designers.

We are looking for someone that has:

• Strong c++ skills, including experience working in multithreaded and memory constrained environments.
• Good understanding of the Unreal Engine network architecture, including the network driver.
• Experience designing and developing server/client games or frameworks.
• Experience optimizing server for large player counts, including load balancing.
• Experience writing code for multiple platforms (Windows, Linux).
• Aptitude for breaking down complex problems into small/manageable tasks.
• Strong communication skills (English is our working language).
• Experience working on one or more released titles.

We evaluate candidates on an ongoing basis and recommend candidates to apply as soon as possible! Average response time is 1 week.
