Senior/Staff Software Engineer – Game Integrations
Role Overview
Join the Recorder team as a senior engineer working on the core of Medal: software that captures, encodes, and records gameplay on users' machines.
Work includes game integrations that power features like auto clipping.
Engineers from Game Integrations, Front End, and interns regularly contribute to the recorder codebase, so a big part of the role is making that safe and easy.
Design and architect solutions a team can maintain, set up guardrails and best practices, and help the codebase mature.
Hands-on work across the recorder stack: capture, hooks, encoding, and game integrations.
The team wants someone who likes working across the whole system and sharing knowledge, not someone who owns one silo.
