Become part of a team working on some of the most rewarding, large-scale creative projects to be found in any entertainment medium - all within an inclusive, highly motivated environment where you can learn and collaborate with some of the most talented people in the industry. 

Rockstar Games is seeking a passionate and experienced Senior Web Engineer with a focus on the "back of the frontend" to join our online development team. This role will involve a deep understanding of how high-profile frontends are delivered, secured and integrated via services and APIs with less focus on the presentation. 

The successful candidate will be working on innovative technology with an internationally established team, while having great attention to detail, being a strong collaborator and have outstanding communication and interpersonal skills.

We are looking for someone who is passionate about games, eager for new challenges, and ready to continue our legacy of creating the greatest games in the world. 

This is a full-time, in-office position based out of Rockstar's NYC headquarters in Downtown Manhattan. 

WHAT WE DO 
  • The Rockstar Games Online Services team creates connected experiences that are found across our game franchises.
  • We architect and maintain high-impact features to support the development of the Rockstar community and websites.
  • We create innovative in-game experiences, including user-generated content.
  • We build services and tools that support our consumer-facing experiences and our internal business needs. 
RESPONSIBILITIES 
  • Development of accessible front-end components and applications using React.
  • Integrating front-end applications with Next.js and ASP.NET Core (C#).
  • Develop comprehensive test suites.
  • Web performance optimization.
  • Collaboration with other Rockstar technology teams across our worldwide studios. 
REQUIREMENTS
  • A degree in computer science or 5+ years of experience in professional web development.
  • 5+ years of experience using React.
  • 5+ years of experience using Node.js or C#. 
  • Extensive experience in accessible web development.
  • Ability to effectively facilitate communication with teams in various locations worldwide.
  • Experience with automated testing, shared code, and source control, preferably Git.
  • Knowledge of Agile, software development, and web-security best practices.
  • Passion for web technologies and a desire to remain up to date with the latest technologies.  
PLUSES 

Please note that these are desirable skills and are not required to apply for the position. 

  • Experience working on high-traffic, responsive websites and applications.
  • Experience with Next.js SSR/ISR.
  • Exposure to Elasticsearch/OpenSearch.
  • Exposure to observability tools.
  • Knowledge of Rockstar's game titles and passion for playing video games. 
HOW TO APPLY

Please apply with a resume and cover letter demonstrating how you meet the skills above. If we would like to move forward with your application, a Rockstar recruiter will reach out to you to explain next steps and guide you through the process.

Rockstar is committed to creating a work environment that promotes equal opportunity, dignity and respect.
