Full Job Description
About Medal
Millions of gamers capture, share, and discover new games on Medal, the largest platform for gaming clips. Our mission is to design products that make sharing and connecting around gaming seamless and fun, and build a place where brands and game publishers can reach high-quality gamers to grow their products. Medal's data powers General Intuition, the frontier research lab that recently raised $320M at a $2.3B valuation led by Khosla Ventures with participation from General Catalyst, Eric Schmidt, and Jeff Bezos.
The Role
The majority of work will involve deepening how our recorder interfaces with games. For this role, you will be responsible for building and maintaining the integrations that interface directly with game engines and game-specific APIs by developing engine plugins (Unreal, Unity) to let us extract game-specific data and power features like auto clipping. This is low-level, hands-on work: understanding how games work, writing engine plugins, reverse-engineering how games expose (or don't expose) the data we need, working with game APIs and log files to let us capture those magic moments without our users having to lift a finger.
