NCSoft West is looking for an exceptional server programmer to join our team. Qualified candidates should love agile development, working independently on their own challenges as well as together with the team on the bigger vision.  You’ll be working on the analysis, architecture and implementation of web services and authentication. 

Requirements

• Deep understanding of security and scalability issues
• Experience with concurrency and complex messaging
• Extensive experience with TCP, sockets, and WinSock
• Extensive experience with multithreading
• Strong C/C++ skills
• Knowledge of scripting languages, Ruby/Javascript preferred
• Strong math skills
• A passion for high performance
• 3+ year of professional programming experience (not necessarily in the game industry)

Send your resume and code samples in C/C++ that demonstrate your ability to engineer practical solutions to difficult problems. We prefer to see code in such areas as multithreading, sockets, or other difficult problems. We generally look for at least 2500 lines of code in at least two different subject areas.

We encourage you to send code that will show your best work, and would suggest avoiding linked-list implementations, matrix transformations, lightweight "wrappers", and the like, as those samples tend not to give a clear idea of your abilities. If you collaborated with other programmers on the code that you submit with your resume, please give us a clear indication of which parts you wrote. Finally, please do not submit executables, make-files or data files.

Code samples will be held in the strictest confidence and used solely for the purpose of evaluating your abilities.

This position is based in Bellevue, WA.
