Lead Game Security Engineer

We want you to #JOINTHEREBELLION!

For 30 years we’ve been independently developing and publishing incredible video games at our multiple studios founded by Jason & Chris Kingsley, but Rebellion is more than just games. We have our own film studio, we create board games, publish books, and through 2000AD, publish comics and graphic novels such as the amazing Judge Dredd.

We’re hiring a Lead Game Security Engineer to join at the start of a large new project, with the opportunity to shape the security architecture used across all Asura titles and build a new Game Security team from the ground up.

Based within our in-house Tech Team, you will benefit from working closely with other engineering and project teams to research, reverse engineer, design and implement solutions that deliver robust defences against cheating, piracy, and other attacks, protecting both the player experience and the business as threats and tactics evolve.

Responsibilities:

• Build and manage a team of developers and analysts to develop and maintain software to defend against cheating, piracy and other threats.

• Develop and own process framework which encompasses the whole lifecycle of managing security threats from monitoring, investigation and identification through to successful mitigation.
• Develop in-house capability for the utilisation of reverse engineering and other techniques to analyse and report on malicious code.
• Work with broader code teams to establish a development environment in which security best practices are embedded.
• Supporting the QA department in building the capability to validate and safely release defensive software.

This role can be based at our Oxford, Warwick or Runcorn studios, each offering a creative and relaxed atmosphere where teamwork drives our success. We can provide a relocation package, including moving assistance, temporary accommodation and full support to ensure a smooth transition to your new environment.
