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, but Rebellion is more than just games. We have our own film studio, we create board games, publish books, and through 2000AD, publish comics and graphic novels such as the amazing Judge Dredd.
We are seeking an experienced and highly skilled back-end Senior Online Developer to join our tech team, to help build and support internal and external web APIs to support our game engine team.
The successful candidate will join a small team and user their specialist JavaScript knowledge to be involved in the entire software development lifecycle, from requirements gathering and system design to implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance. You will be working on building internal tools as well as public facing APIs.
This is primarily a back-end role and we are looking for a talented senior or lead who has experience building performant and distributed backend APIs, and efficiently utilising 3rd party services. They will be comfortable communicating with other teams to fix bugs and resolve issues. This is an excellent opportunity to build exciting business-critical systems from the ground up.
This exciting opportunity can be based out of either of our studios in Oxford or Warwick, offering flexibility, collaboration, and the chance to work with a world-class team! We can provide a relocation package, including moving assistance, temporary accommodation, and full support to ensure a smooth transition to your new environment.
We believe in the power of face-to-face collaboration and encourage working from our studios. However, we understand that flexibility matters, so we’re open to discussing hybrid options based on individual needs.
