[Hiring] Software Engineer @Argus
Feb 04, 2025 - Argus is hiring a remote Software Engineer. 💸 Salary: unspecified. 📍Location: Latin America (LATAM).
Role Description
Argus Labs is building the next generation of massively multiplayer online (MMO) games by empowering players with the extensive freedom to build, extend, and influence the game worlds they inhabit. Our approach is centered around World Engine, our state-of-the-art onchain game server framework.
World Engine leverages a novel sharded rollup blockchain architecture, which allows games to use smart contracts for user-generated content (UGC) while scaling to tens of thousands of concurrent users without compromising performance.
To date, World Engine is the most performant blockchain designed from the ground up for games and has been used in production for games like Dark Frontier, processing 700K+ player transactions within a week.
Backed by the best, we raised $10 million in seed funding led by Haun Ventures ($1.5B crypto fund led by former a16z GP, Katie Haun) with participation from influential angel investors in tech and gaming such as Elad Gil and Balaji Srinivasan (ex-Coinbase CTO).
Responsibilities:
- Develop and maintain the core game technology infrastructure that serves as the backend for our game worlds
- Architect systems that allow games, marketplaces, and user-generated content/platforms to communicate and interoperate seamlessly

- Continuously improve and optimize the performance, reliability, and scalability of our infrastructure
