Heroic Labs is an enterprise open-core software company that builds developer tools for the games and entertainment industry. Our flagship project is an open-source cloud-agnostic game server called Nakama.
We've added two supporting products called Hiro (a meta game framework) as well as Satori, a LiveOps system to help game studios deliver highly personalizable game experiences to their players.
Heroic Labs also provides managed infrastructure to run Nakama/Satori on behalf of game studios and media companies. There is also a proprietary version called Nakama Enterprise for large enterprises to deploy in their own datacenter, as well as custom infrastructure for private cloud deployments.
We work with different size companies ranging from small startups, mid-size game studios, public-listed games companies, and Fortune 500 companies. This means that Nakama (and suite of products) have been battle-tested at various scales and use cases.
Hi there!
We're looking for a client engineer to join the growing team at Heroic Labs. We build an open-source, distributed, highly scalable game server called Nakama.
We are simplifying the lives of game developers and providing incredible technology that can be integrated into any game on any platform as easily as possible. Nakama is already powering many games, including multiple titles on the Top 50 of the app stores.
There is an ever-growing open-source community with many contributors, and third-party plugins and projects. Heroic Labs works with independent developers, mid-tier, AAA game studios and many publicly listed Fortune 500 companies across the globe to power games that individually make over 90 billion requests per month into our infrastructure.
We lean towards candidates who have professional experience building games with Unity and Unreal engine - however if you don't have experience but feel up to the challenge, please do apply!
We are looking for client SDK engineers who are excited about growing an open-source cloud-native distributed game server and its ecosystem to join our engineering teams. Working closely with other engineers and product managers on both the cloud and game services teams, you will be part of a collaborative culture striving to make building games at scale faster.
You love building new things. You tinker with new technologies. You love helping developers be more productive. You love automation. You love helping customers solve problems.
For the past seven years, Heroic Labs has been on the forefront of providing cutting edge technology to the games and entertainment market. We do this because we love developers and we love games!
We always choose the right tool for the job. We believe that with the right tools, you can have a big impact with less hassle. We believe in small teams. Small teams are fast and nimble. Small teams mean less bureaucracy and less management and more getting things done.
Location: Anywhere on the planet with a reliable Internet connection!
If you want to work remote, that's great. If you want to work near others, that's cool too. We have an office in London (UK), but our team members are in Vancouver, New York, Portugal, Edinburgh, and Costa Rica!
Compensation:
Send an email to us with your resume, and a cover letter highlighting why you'd like to join Heroic Labs.
After you apply, you are going to hear back from us, even if we don't seem like a good fit. In fact, throughout the process, we strive to make sure you never go more than seven days without hearing from us.
We use the best tool/language for the job.
Nakama and Satori and all supporting systems from Heroic Labs are used at massive scales, and are currently powering many games including multiple titles on the Top 10 in the App Stores. Our systems are serving more than 90 billion API calls per day.
Nakama/Satori are written in Go to take advantage of light-weight goroutines, simple concurrency, and more importantly the Go community. We heavily depend on Kubernetes (and various extensions) to power our Managed Cloud and Private Cloud deployments.
We also have various dashboards built in Javascript / Typescript and VueJS.
You will be responsible for developing the core server technology, work on infrastructure solutions, provide support to clients, attend conferences, and be involved in technical sales. We'd like engineers to have an all-hands experience across the board but we understand that not all engineers would like to have such responsibilities.
