Rockstar is on the lookout for a skilled Senior Network Programmer who is passionate about game development. Working on the Network Programming team will involve a large variety of different tasks, ranging from the low-level (e.g. optimising data sent over the physical network) to the high-level (e.g. ensuring game objects move smoothly in network games taking packet loss and network latency into account).

This is a full-time, in-office position based out of Rockstar's unique game development studio in Oakville, ON.

What We Do

  • The Rockstar Games Network Programming team supports the synchronization of gameplay state and mechanics between players in multiplayer sessions to enable a shared gameplay experience.
  • We optimize networking systems to minimize usage of CPU processing, memory, and bandwidth.
  • We improve prediction and interpolation systems to guarantee game entities move efficiently in multiplayer games under high latency/packet loss conditions.

Responsibilities

  • Develop, maintain, and extend current networking systems on different gaming platforms.
  • Synchronize game entities and gameplay state in a bandwidth efficient manner that works well over home Internet conditions.
  • Use time productively and efficiently to make every effort to meet required targets.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of commercial games programming experience.
  • Experience working on one or more shipped titles, ideally through the submission and release process.
  • Strong C/C++ programming skills.
  • Outstanding communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Self-motivated, interested in games and curious about how things work.

PLUSES
Please note that these are desirable skills and are not required to apply for the position.

  • Background in networking prediction and interpolation systems development.
  • Proficiency with Xbox and Sony console platforms.
  • Experience working with low-level network libraries.

How To Apply
Please apply with a resume and cover letter demonstrating how you meet the skills above. If we would like to move forward with your application, a Rockstar recruiter will reach out to you to explain next steps and guide you through the process.
