Job description

We want you to #JOINTHEREBELLION!

For 30 years, we have been developing and publishing video games at our multiple studios founded by Jason & Chris Kingsley. Rebellion is more than just games; we also have a film studio, create board games, publish books, and produce comics and graphic novels such as Judge Dredd through 2000AD.

This is primarily a back-end role, but we seek someone experienced in both front-end and back-end development, frameworks, and third-party libraries. Excellent communication skills are essential to assist other teams with bug fixing and issue resolution.

Based in Oxford, Warwick, or Runcorn, this role offers flexibility, collaboration, and the opportunity to work with a world-class team. We provide a relocation package, including moving assistance, temporary accommodation, and full support for a smooth transition.

While we prefer face-to-face collaboration at our studios, we are open to hybrid working arrangements based on individual needs.

Key Outcomes:

• Produce performant and well-documented code.
• Develop and deploy tools supporting our game teams.
• Respond promptly to bugs and issues, providing quick resolutions.

Responsibilities:

• Design, build, and deploy web applications for our engine team.
• Maintain and enhance existing tools.
• Develop integrations with third-party APIs.
• Communicate effectively with other teams.

Requirements:

• Knowledge of front-end frameworks like Vue and React.
• Experience with databases such as MySQL and NoSQL databases.
• Familiarity with AWS or similar cloud environments.
• Experience with development tools and version control systems (Git/Perforce preferred).
• Ability to quickly learn new technologies.
• Comfort with modifying applications written in languages like PHP is desirable.
• Experience with serverless functions (AWS Lambda/Azure Functions) is a bonus.

Benefits include:

• Holiday entitlement increasing with service, private medical insurance, dental and vision coverage.
• Life assurance, income protection, critical illness cover.
• Enhanced family leave, interest-free loans, pension scheme.
• Mental health and wellbeing support, discounts, social events.

Life at Our Oxford HQ:

Our riverside headquarters in Oxford offers a rich historical environment with modern amenities, excellent transport links, and a vibrant community. Our open-plan office fosters teamwork and innovation, with amenities like free drinks, a tuck shop, and nearby cafes and pubs. We promote an inclusive, creative, and fun atmosphere, supporting work-life balance and personal growth.
