Game Closure | Engineer | SALARY: $120k - $220k | San Francisco Bay area (SF) | Tokyo, Japan | VISA REMOTE

Game Closure is building the world's most advanced javascript game technologies, including an engine, server infrastructure, analytics and marketing, among other cool products. We are hiring senior engineers who can tackle architecture and APIs for our game technology on small teams of 3-4 folks. Game Closure has raised more then $30M, and has more than 100M users supported by a small team of engineers <25

For flavor: our last project was to use redux as a server state timeline for 100M+ players; before that we used code mods to port it from our propriety module and class system to es6. There are numerous projects coming up, such as first class typescript support to facilitate better tooling and API documentation, a facial tracking/AR engine, and a react-powered webgl-based UI system.

We have projects for hosted real-time multiplayer gaming, social gaming, cross-compilation to native platforms, and many other core infrastructure tools that we would welcome your support on defining and creating.

Our technologies engine have already been in front of tens of millions of users, and we're adding millions of new users monthly. This is a high leverage position, and very senior. We welcome remote for certain folks, because we're looking to build the best small engineering team in the world, but we prefer to hire in Tokyo and Mountain View.

We are also actively looking for folks across range of leadership roles in product, engineering, and operations.

I waited 21 days for my first reply from Game Closure after applying for this position 2 months ago. I proceeded to have three interviews, 2 of which were technical with a high level engineer and the CTO.

After being told the interviews went very well, I never heard back. After a couple of weeks I emailed Linda and Rachel to ask for a status update, and never received a response.

I interviewed with Game Closure for the engineering position. Passed 3 technical rounds with engineers and CEO, then was asked for reference. I agreed to provide my ex-boss's contact, they didn't call until more than 2 weeks later, then got a feedback that they received some "red flags" from the reference so they won't proceed. I couldn't believe it so I came to ask my ex-boss directly, whom I worked with for 2.5 years as lead developer and still maintain good relationship. He was shocked to hear that, and said he tried to give me the best feedback he could, then apologize and even tried to offer me some other gigs in exchange for the loss. Judging from the actions alone - GC had no desire to make the call until 2 weeks later and my boss trying to offer me jobs instead - I find it simply impossible to believe that GC had genuine interest in me and that my boss backstabbed me. If you don't want the candidate you should simply tell them, but if you can't find a good reason and decide to blame it on the reference despite the candidate's effort to provide whatever you need and risking their relationship, it tells a lot about you.

How long ago did you interview with them? I have just started to get a first reply from them today (after submitting my resume).

I got first reply around mid April. The whole process was more than 1 month. If you have more question feel free to DM.
