    Job Description

    Job Description

    Argus Labs is building the next generation of massively multiplayer online (MMO) games by empowering players with the extensive freedom to build, extend, and influence the game worlds they inhabit. Our approach is centered around World Engine, our state-of-the-art onchain game server framework.

    World Engine leverages a novel sharded rollup blockchain architecture, which allows games to use smart contracts for user-generated content (UGC) while scaling to tens of thousands of concurrent users without compromising performance. To date, World Engine is the most performant blockchain designed from the ground up for games and has been used in production for games like Dark Frontier, processing 700K+ player transactions within a week.

    Backed by the best

    We raised $10 million in seed funding led by Haun Ventures ($1.5B crypto fund led by former a16z GP, Katie Haun) with participation from influential angel investors in tech and gaming such as Elad Gil and Balaji Srinivasan (ex-Coinbase CTO).

    About the role
    • We are looking for a skilled software engineer to join the World Engine team and help design, develop, and optimize our horizontally scalable open-source game server framework that utilizes a novel sharding architecture and EVM smart contracts to augment user-generated content.
    • You will join a deeply technical engineering-focused team reporting directly to a technical CEO. You will have the opportunity to contribute significantly to the production direction and interface directly with World Engine's users through our open-source channels.
    Responsibilities
    • Design, implement, and maintain highly scalable and reliable distributed systems that support real-time multiplayer gameplay.
    • Optimize existing game server infrastructure for performance and cost efficiency.
    • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including game developers, network engineers, and cloud architects, to integrate server-side logic with game functionalities.
    • Implement robust synchronization mechanisms to handle high-latency and partial failure scenarios effectively.
    • Develop tools and frameworks to automate server infrastructure deployment, scaling, and monitoring.
    • Conduct load testing and performance tuning to ensure system stability and respond to customer-facing latency issues.
    Requirements
    • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or relevant technical field; OR significant relevant past software engineering project/working experience.
    • Strong experience designing and building distributed systems, preferably with exposure to online gaming or real-time interactive systems.
    • Proficiency in object-oriented programming languages such as C++, Rust, or Go.
    • Deep understanding of network protocols (TCP/IP, HTTP, WebSocket) and low-level networking.
    • Familiarity with database management and caching solutions (Redis, MongoDB, SQL).
    • Ability to diagnose and resolve performance bottlenecks in high-traffic environments.
    • Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to think algorithmically.
    Nice to have
    • Experience with cloud services (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) and server orchestration technologies (Kubernetes, Docker).
    • Experience with blockchain technology.
    • Experience with game development (Unity, Unreal, etc).
    • Past significant contributions to open-source projects.
    • Notable demonstration of software engineering or technical capabilities such as:
      • Highly technical personal projects (compilers/interpreters, P2P, byzantine fault-tolerant distributed system, cryptography, etc.)
      • Competitive programming competitions (IOI, ICPC, USACO, Google Code Jam, Codeforces, etc.)
      • Capture-The-Flag/CTF competitions (DEFCON, PicoCTF, etc.)
    Perks & benefits

    For full-time employees

    • A note for the game industry veterans: no crunch :-)
    • Flexible PTO (2 weeks required) + holidays

    • 401k (US)
    • Up to $1500 desk set-up stipend
