Epic Games is hiring a
Infrastructure Engineer Intern

Summary

Join the Epic Games team as an Infrastructure Engineer Intern and contribute to creating a proactive and stable IT environment. You'll work on tooling that helps backend service teams build reliable and scalable services, and improve internal developer experience.

Requirements

• Experience with Go and JavaScript preferred, Java is a plus (ProdEng services are written in Go, but Epic has tons of Java services)
• Someone who wants to know the true ‘why’ behind a service outage, not just how to fix it
• Basic understanding of Linux and containers
• Interest in Kubernetes, OpenTelemetry, and other CNCF projects like Helm, Argo, and Envoy
• A strong desire to help others (ProdEng works with service teams all over Epic)
• Someone who wants to get exposed to the inner-workings of delivering backend services that support millions of players simultaneously

Responsibilities

• Develop new features for our internal load-testing tool in Go and JavaScript (Vue)
• Help service teams efficiently scale their services by investigating (and doing engineering work to expose!) what metric is the best indicator of load for a particular service
• Improve the resiliency of many services at once by adding new safety features (for example, loadshedding to Epic’s internal gateway product) and helping teams to onboard with our latest reliability best-practices
