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 looking for a senior full-stack programmer to join the core technologies (Core Tech) team. Core Tech is a team that develops a collection of backend and frontend services that support and enhance Behaviour games. The services are very diverse, but all have in common that they consist of the underlying cloud systems that games like Dead by Daylight use to develop their own in-game features: matchmaking, player progression, in-game purchases, friends' system, messaging, are but a few examples. To help us achieve our long-term vision with this technology, we are looking for a senior full-stack programmer to integrate the team and be accountable for the delivery of front-end and backend code for diverse features.

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.
• 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.
