Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- You will design and build the server-side foundation that takes Castle Busters from a client-authoritative game to a competitive, server-validated one.
- The current game computes everything on the device - progression, economy, and match outcomes alike, which won't hold up for competitive PvP.
- Your job is to change that.
- Working closely with client developers and game designers from feature design through delivery, validation and iteration, you will:
- Build server-side validation for the metagame - currency, card upgrades, chest opens, and progression - staged by risk, replicating economy and reward logic on the server.
- Move toward server authority for competitive features, where game state lives in one place and can be trusted.
- Design APIs and player-state management that the Unity client integrates against, and help shape how client and server split responsibilities.
- The responsibilities are cross-functional, ranging from infrastructure, API design & coding all the way to client-side integration (we are using Golang).
