Technology Innovation Engineer - San Francisco, CA, United States - argus

Description

At Argus Labs, we are shaping the future of video games through applied research in distributed systems and game design.

We believe online game worlds should be open and interconnected, rather than closed siloes controlled by platform giants.

Argus is an MMO game developer and publisher built around a collective of hackers and designers in pursuit of the next great paradigm shift in the video game industry.

As an applied research lab with an integrated game studio/publisher, we are uniquely positioned to lead the way. We build our own games that are native to our infrastructure.

This allows us to fully understand and utilize the capabilities of our platform, resulting in novel game designs built around the platform's unique power and quirks.

We recently raised $10 million in seed funding led by Haun Ventures with participation from angels in tech and gaming such as Elad Gil, Balaji Srinivasan, Kevin Aluwi, Siqi Chen, etc.
