Original job description

About Offworld:

Offworld Industries Ltd. (Offworld) is the independent studio behind the successful military first-person shooter game, “Squad”. Offworld was formed in 2014 by more than 15 developers who had worked together on the well-known Project Reality mod for Battlefield 2. The founding purpose of the team was to bring a standalone successor of this acclaimed mod to market and build a game development studio and a livelihood from that foundation.

Fast forward to 2026, Offworld has more than 150 employees and is rapidly growing. We have been expanding the studio into serving as a publisher supporting mods and have released our newest title, "Starship Troopers: Extermination", a 16-player PvE first-person shooter based on the 1997 cult-classic film.

We are built on passion, unified spirit, and continuing efforts to break the mold. We strive to become a leader in creating large-scale multiplayer games and supplying others with the ability to do the same. We are looking for a talented Game Backend Engineer to take technical ownership of our live-service game’s microservice backend. You will play a critical role in stabilizing, modernizing, and expanding a proprietary backend infrastructure built on the Tencent "InGame" PaaS.

This role requires Node.js/TypeScript expertise, an understanding of stateful microservice architectures, and the ability to act as the primary technical bridge between our core development team in Vancouver and Tencent’s GCloud/InGame infrastructure teams in China.

If you are passionate about making great games and a team player, we are looking for you!

Job Duties:

Architecture Stabilization: Audit and remediate existing stateful scaling logic. Implement robust graceful shutdown protocols and dirty-cache synchronization to ensure zero data loss during scaling events.
Feature Completion: Take ownership of partially implemented systems and drive them to completion, wiring backend logic to frontend RPC calls.
Infrastructure Modernization: De-couple hardcoded database versioning and configuration from the codebase. Replace legacy shell-script deployments with modern, containerized CI/CD pipelines.
Quality Assurance: Establish a "zero-failure" testing culture. Build automated integration test suites to rigorously test critical paths, including Midas IAP validations, custom data syncs, and guild permission systems.
Cross-Border Collaboration: Be in direct contact with Tencent’s infrastructure support teams. You will coordinate with our Vancouver team during overlapping hours to align on architecture, code reviews, and live-ops incident response.

Requirements:

Experience: 5+ years of professional backend software engineering, with at least 3 years focused on high-concurrency multiplayer game servers or live-service platforms.
Core Tech Stack: High proficiency in Node.js, JavaScript/TypeScript within a microservices environment.
Stateful Architecture: Deep understanding of stateful backend scaling, consistent hashing, memory management, and distributed caching strategies.
Databases: Strong NoSQL database experience, particularly in high-throughput read/write scenarios.
Communication: Bilingual fluency. You must have native-level Mandarin to effectively communicate with Tencent GCloud teams, and professional-level English for meetings, documentation, and code reviews with the Vancouver team.
Time Management: Willingness to accommodate meetings scheduled for China morning hours while working in the Pacific Time zone.

Preferred Qualifications

DevOps: Prior experience with Jenkins for ensuring a flawless deployment pipeline.
Tencent Ecosystem: Prior hands-on experience deploying to the Tencent InGame PaaS
Database: Direct experience with TcaplusDB table configuration and data management.
Tencent SDKs: Familiarity integrating and securing Tencent-specific SDKs, including:
- Midas (Real-money payments and currency management)
- WeGame (Authentication and Access Tokens)
- ACE (Anti-profanity and content moderation)
Mandarin: proficient in Mandarin

This is a full-time permanent position, with the requirement to work from our office three days per week. The typical salary range for this position is $110,000 - $135,000 CAD per year and is subject to change. The final agreed upon salary is based on work location and may vary depending on factors such as job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.

This role offers:

Extended health and dental benefits
Wellness and health spending accounts
Retirement savings plan
3 weeks of paid vacation and 2 weeks of paid studio shutdown over the December holiday period
Wonderful colleagues!

If you meet the above qualifications, and Offworld sounds like the kind of company you want to be a part of, please apply now with a copy of your resume.

Offworld Industries is an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, ancestry, place of origin, colour, ethnic origin, language, citizenship, creed, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, physical and/or mental handicap, financial ability or any other characteristic protected by law.
