- Build and maintain Fortnite's support across PC storefronts, operating systems, and architectures, including Epic Games Store and Microsoft Store builds and Windows on ARM
- Collaborate with a variety of other Epic teams within Fortnite and Unreal Engine to help them solve complex technical challenges in ways that move the stability and quality of Fortnite and our internal products forward
What we're looking for
- Strong C++ knowledge and multi-threaded programming techniques; ability to code and architect various core engine systems
- Experience in profiling and optimizing a large codebase
- Ability to diagnose, debug, and action complex problems coming from a live-service title and experience in handling stability issues
- Demonstrated ability to reason about and debug large, interacting systems from the macro-level to the micro-level
- Experience with Linux, such as profiling and optimizing code that also runs on servers, is preferred
- Experience with OS-level systems, Windows/Linux APIs, and common frameworks is a plus
