Our established Total War team are looking for a skilled developer to strengthen our online team and expand our online services offering. The successful applicant will have experience of working closely in a core team, dialoguing daily to reach common objectives. An important portion of development will be in the Erlang language, so previous experience in this, or a willingness to develop new skills will be required. Game client side development will be in C++, so knowledge of this language is required. Because much of the online services involve dealing with large amounts of data, a knowledge of working with relational SQL data and high-performance NoSQL stores is expected.

Take ownership of certain aspects of the Total War online offering, including architecture and interface design, implementation, and testing. Dialogue with core team on a regular basis to keep everyone aware of developments. Offer implementation solutions for design-led requirements. Create development breakdown and schedule in collaboration with producers and leads. Drive test plan for areas of responsibility. Analyse problems when arisen and suggest solutions for dealing with them.

Knowledge, Skills and Experience:

Two or more years experience of working on a server-side large project with online databases and high-volume/highly concurrent traffic, including but not limited to an online video game. Experience of working in both Windows and Linux environments. Working knowledge of C++. Knowledge of Erlang a big plus. Previous experience with a cloud service such as Amazon’s AWS is a plus.

Personal qualities:

Self-motivated individual. Eager to learn new technologies. Interest in video games and their inner workings. Methodical approach and good communication skills.
