Job description

We want you to #JOINTHEREBELLION!

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

This is primarily a back-end role, but we are looking for someone experienced with both front-end and back-end languages, development frameworks, and third-party libraries. The ideal candidate will be an excellent communicator to help other teams fix bugs and resolve issues.

This exciting opportunity can be based out of any of our studios in Oxford, Warwick, or Runcorn, offering flexibility, collaboration, and the chance 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 value face-to-face collaboration and encourage working from our studios, we are open to discussing hybrid options based on individual needs.

Key Outcomes:

• Produce performant and well-documented code.
• Successfully develop and deploy new tools to support our game teams.
• Respond to bugs and issues promptly, providing speedy resolutions.

Responsibilities:

• Design, build, and deploy web applications to support our in-house engine team.
• Maintain and improve 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 equivalent cloud environments.
• Experience with software development tools and version control systems (Git/Perforce desirable).
• Ability to quickly learn new technologies.
• Comfort with modifying/maintaining applications written in other languages (such as PHP) is desirable.
• Experience with serverless functions (AWS Lambda/Azure Functions) is a bonus.

Benefits include:

• 22 days holidays + Christmas closure & Bank holidays (increasing with service)
• Private Medical Insurance, healthcare cash plan, including dental and Vision
• Life Assurance, Income Protection & Critical Illness Cover
• Enhanced Family Leave
• Interest-Free, Tax-Free loans
• Enhanced Pension Scheme
• Mental Health and Wellbeing Support
• And more, including discounts, freebies, and social events!

Life at Our Oxford HQ:

Our riverside headquarters in Oxford is close to the city centre, offering a mix of tradition and modernity, with excellent transport links, including a nearby train station with routes to London, Birmingham, Manchester, and Reading. We have an open-plan office promoting teamwork, with amenities like free hot drinks, a tuck shop, and nearby pubs and cafes.

We foster an inclusive, creative atmosphere where you can be yourself, express your talent, and enjoy a healthy work-life balance. We support your development and well-being and are committed to diversity and inclusion.
