What the job involves

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will help establish the culture for our engineering team and lay the foundation for our frontend architecture
Our team embraces a culture of performance, automation, and iteration
We aim to move fast and are not afraid to experiment, fail and try something new
Because our team is small, you will have a chance to work across the stack from building out our design system to helping write tools for our CI/CD pipeline
100% of time hands on coding
Build out various frontend applications
Championing a culture of iteration, experimentation and performance
Evangelizing automated testing best practices for unit/integration/e2e tests
Collaborating with our design and product teams to build out new features
Building out our set of reusable components
Working with our operations team to build out our tooling and CI/CD pipelines
Working with game teams to integrate the technology and products we build
Here’s an example of a task you could work on:
Architect and code a responsive purchase flow for games in React
Make sure its performant and accessible
Write automated tests for it
Integrate with your code with a few of the largest games in the world
Although this is primarily a frontend position, our engineers are not bound by titles and domain expertise. We encourage our engineers to work together, across domains in order to deliver a high quality experience to our users

Our take

Parent company to some of the most successful video game companies and titles is Take-Two Interactive, one of the leading developers, publishers, and marketers of consumer interactive entertainment around the globe.

Developing and publishing principally through Rockstar Games, 2K, Private Division, and Zynga, Take-Two has powered industry-leading titles such as Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption 1&2, the catalog of NBA 2K games, BioShock, and FarmVille.

The company is looking to enter the world of crypto and blockchain, beginning with Zynga's Web3 game Sugartown in 2023. When competitor Ubisoft became the first developer to launch NFTs, the move faced backlash as many users saw it as a cash grab, which has certainly influenced Take-Two’s delay in entering the market. Time will tell how this foray into blockchain pans out for Take-Two.

With its well-established catalog of games (with some highly anticipated title releases, including GTA 6) Take-Two Interactive is a titan in the industry and is well set to see continued success, not only as its subsidiaries expand but through the capitalization of future tech opportunities in the highly innovative gaming industry.
