Job Details

Overview

1047 Games began with the simple principle that people should have fun while making great games. Bucking convention and driven by a passion to create the ultimate gaming experience, Ian Proulx and Nicholas Bagamian founded 1047 Games in 2017 in their Stanford dorm room. Their love for arena shooters of the past drove them to create Splitgate, a unique sci-fi first-person shooter that adds portal guns to upend the genre. 

What started as two computer science majors putting portals into a first-person shooter for a project demo has evolved into a VC-backed company which has raised more than $120MM in funding. 

At 1047 Games, you’ll find a permanently remote, dedicated team of top-tier talent from some of the world’s biggest gaming and tech companies who share our founders’ vision. Grit, ingenuity, a desire to have fun, and a start up mentality define our crew. We are currently working on a brand new shooter in the Splitgate universe.

What We're Looking For:

  • A passionate engineer: You love to take on difficult, seemingly impossible technical problems and dig in to find creative ways to solve them
  • A hard worker: You love to put in the extra effort, because you enjoy your work and know the impact of finishing the tasks at hand
  • Passion for gaming: You can recognize what separates exceptional games from the average ones. You understand the mindset of gamers which enables you to create and implement features that will further benefit the game

What You Will Be Doing:

  • Develop and maintain robust anti-cheat systems to safeguard game integrity
  • Protect game binaries and assets from unauthorized modifications and exploits
  • Monitor real-time game activity to identify and investigate suspicious behaviors
  • Analyze and reverse-engineer cheats to understand and neutralize emerging threats
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate anti-cheat solutions seamlessly
  • Stay updated on the latest cheating methods and security vulnerabilities within the gaming industry
  • Provide detailed reports on cheating trends and the effectiveness of anti-cheat measures

What You Will Need (Required skills):

  • Fluency in C and C++ programming languages
  • Strong reverse-engineering skills
  • Experience with Windows kernel-mode development
  • In-depth knowledge of low-level aspects of the Windows kernel
  • Excellent debugging and analytical abilities
  • Self-directed, detail-oriented, and able to work independently in a remote environment

Desired Skills

  • Game development background
  • Experience in cheat analysis
  • Knowledge of database systems and backend engineering
