We are looking for an experienced software engineer to strengthen our development team at Studio 397. As part of Motorsport Games, we develop both the rFactor 2 racing simulation and the core simulation technology that underpins all MSG games on PC and consoles. We are looking for people with a deep passion for racing simulation as well as motorsport.

You will be working on the rFactor 2 user interface and its integration with the core simulation. There are several parts to this backend. Some are integrated into the racing simulation client, others are part of the dedicated server and a third part of the backend is deployed to the internet. You will need a thorough understanding of C++ and Java, their threading and memory models and how they interoperate.

The ideal candidate will be able to demonstrate experience creating backends for web based user interfaces and integrating these in both technical, soft real-time environments as well as internet scale solutions.
