Job description

Are you ready to dive into the world of cutting-edge video game development? Headquartered in Montreal, Behaviour Interactive is at the forefront of the gaming industry, crafting unforgettable experiences across PC, console, and mobile platforms. We’re a dynamic, independent studio of over 1200 passionate employees, with studios in Toronto (Behaviour Toronto), Seattle (Midwinter Entertainment), Rotterdam (Behaviour Rotterdam), and in the UK (Behaviour UK–North & South). Our day-to-day revolves around two core business focuses: Services and Original Games. Our Services team collaborates with gaming and entertainment giants like Disney, Sony, Activision, and Nintendo, delivering exceptional work-for-hire development and pioneering immersive location-based entertainment (LBE). Meanwhile, our Original Games unit pushes our creative limits, with our signature IPs, including the iconic Dead by Daylight. Join us and be a part of the future of interactive entertainment!

At Behaviour Interactive, we believe in giving everyone a fair shot. We embrace a diverse and creative environment where everyone is celebrated. We value folks of all ages, sex, ethnicity, colour, ethnic or national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, civil status, disability, or any other protected characteristics as per applicable law.

We are seeking a senior full-stack programmer to join the core technologies (Core Tech) team. Core Tech is responsible for developing a wide range of initiatives, including in-game features, out-of-game applications, and both backend and frontend services that support and enhance Behaviour games. To help us achieve our long-term strategic goals, we look for a candidate who can integrate into the team and play a pivotal role in developing and being accountable for major initiatives. The ideal candidate should be proficient in both frontend and backend web technologies. Knowledge of C++ and game development is a plus.

In this role you will:

• Deliver backend and frontend features. You will code new systems and refactor existing systems, working on a wide variety of features that are fast, secure, and scale well to millions of concurrent players;
• Fix bugs. Core tech services involve features that are added or improved all the time. With the features come the bugs as well as other issues. Bugs come in all shapes, forms, and priorities, from a simple fix, to a very hard to reproduce critical issue;
• Optimize both performance and memory. Issues with slow performance or poor memory usage do occur. You will profile features, detect bottlenecks, and optimize them;
• Test. You will write unit tests, functional tests, and load tests to ensure the robustness and the quality of the features you are working on;
• Work with peers. You will work with fellow programmers, tech leads, and managers on the Core Tech team, as well as programmers and developers in other disciplines on game production teams or publishing teams. Most features require working closely and collaborating with members of other teams.

What we're looking for:

• This is a senior role. You need to have at least 5 years of experience as a full-stack developer. Experience in the gaming-industry is a plus;
• Versatility. You need to be a full-stack generalist who is comfortable working on a wide variety of features: low- and high-level code, features and bugs, frontend and backend, and experience in C++, as well as in game development is a big plus;
• Experience with databases. You need to be very comfortable with relational and non-relational database technologies like MySQL, DynamoDB, and others;
• Experience with NodeJS, Typescript, web frameworks (Angular/React), and AWS services is a big plus;
• You need to be solution-oriented and possess a collaborative spirit.

Ce que vous ferez:

• Livrer des fonctionnalités backend et frontend : Vous développerez de nouveaux systèmes et refactoriserez les systèmes existants, travaillant sur une grande variété de fonctionnalités rapides, sécurisées et pouvant s'adapter à des millions de joueurs simultanés.
• Corriger les bugs : Les services Core Tech impliquent des fonctionnalités ajoutées ou améliorées constamment. Avec ces fonctionnalités viennent également des bugs et d'autres problèmes. Les bugs varient en forme, en taille et en priorité, allant d'une correction simple à un problème critique difficile à reproduire.
• Optimiser les performances et la mémoire : Des problèmes de performance ou de mauvaise utilisation de la mémoire peuvent survenir. Vous effectuerez des profils de fonctionnalités, détecterez les bloquants et les optimiserez.
• Tester: Vous écrirez des tests unitaires, fonctionnels et de charge pour garantir la robustesse et la qualité des fonctionnalités sur lesquelles vous travaillez.
• Collaborer avec vos pairs : Vous travaillerez avec des collègues programmeurs, responsables techniques et managers de l'équipe Core Tech, ainsi qu'avec des développeurs d'autres disciplines des équipes de production ou d'édition des jeux. La plupart des fonctionnalités nécessitent un travail étroit et une collaboration avec les membres d'autres équipes.
