With platform and in-game engineering teams in Europe and North America, we work in partnership with the game industry’s top creators! Looking for something different? We know that it's sometimes hard to find a role that looks like it lines up with your expertise. If you're interested in working with us and don't think you'd be a good fit for any of our other positions, we still want you to apply! Our project landscape is always expanding and we'd love the opportunity to reach back out if a potential match comes along down the road. Rocket Science is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to providing a worry-free workplace void of discrimination or harassment. Rocket Scientists are expected to foster and champion an environment in which everyone has the opportunity to feel included and is afforded the respect and dignity they deserve. Rocket Science does not accept unsolicited résumés from recruiters, employment agencies, or staffing firms. #li-hybrid ## About Rocket Science Group ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Rocket Science Group is a gaming services company that provides co-development, multiplayer platform engineering, live operations, and recruiting for game studios. - **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage) - **Headquarters**: Schenectady, New York, United States - **Founded**: 2022 - **Founders**: Thomas Daniel (CEO) – founding team members have backgrounds at Blizzard, PUBG, Epic, and Unity. ## Core Business - **Primary industry**: Computer Games / Gaming Services - **Target customers**: B2B – game studios (AAA and indie) needing technical co-development, platform engineering, server scaling, and live ops support. - **Mission / Purpose**: “We solve the hardest technical challenges in gaming so studios can focus on making exceptional games.” ## Products & Services Rocket Science Group operates four specialized studios: - **[Atomic Theory](https://www.rocketscience.gg/)**: Gameplay, UX/UI, engine, and pipeline services – helps studios with game design, user experience, and tooling. - **[Terminal Velocity](https://www.rocketscience.gg/)**: Multiplayer platform engineering and cloud services – focuses on backend architecture, server scaling, and cloud migration. - **[Super Collider](https://www.rocketscience.gg/)**: Game studio operations, compliance, and IT infrastructure – handles publishing support, operational scaling, and revenue optimization. - **[Space Rangers](https://www.rocketscience.gg/)**: Mission-ready recruiting for gaming talent – specializes in placing engineers, artists, and producers. ## Market Standing - **Valuation**: Not disclosed - **Total Funding**: USD ~$1.1M (Seed round led by Konvoy in April 2023; Grant from The Welsh Government in August 2023) [linkedin.com/company/rocketsciencegg] - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Konvoy (lead seed investor), The Welsh Government (grant), plus partnerships with studios like Splash Damage (via co-development roles). - **Growth Signals**: - Headcount grew 59.6% YoY to 91 employees (LinkedIn) / 81 employees (Built In) – conflicting figures. - 15 active job postings with a 1400% monthly increase (likely seasonal). - Offices in US (Schenectady, NY; Austin, TX) and UK (Cardiff, London, Brighton). - Recent hires from Playground Games, Unity, PUBG Corporation, Splash Damage, and TT Games. ## Competitive Advantages - **Deep technical expertise**: Founders and leadership have shipped titles at Blizzard, PUBG, Epic, and Unity – not consultants but operators. - **Specialized studio model**: Each studio (Atomic Theory, Terminal Velocity, Super Collider, Space Rangers) owns a specific domain, allowing deep focus and cross-sell. - **End-to-end offering**: From gameplay engineering to cloud hosting to recruiting, studios can offload multiple pain points to one partner. - **Proven track record**: The company directly supports known co-development projects (e.g., Splash Damage roles for Gameplay Engineer, System Engineer). ## Strategic Focus - **Scale the studio model**: Growing each of the four verticals (gameplay, platform, ops, recruiting) while maintaining specialized expertise. - **Expand geographic presence**: Current offices in US (NY, TX) and UK (Cardiff, London, Brighton) – likely to add more European hubs. - **Deepen co-development partnerships**: Actively recruiting engineers for major studios (Splash Damage, etc.) indicates a push to embed teams in clients’ workflows. - **Leverage cloud and live ops**: Terminal Velocity’s focus on cloud services suggests a bet on Multiplay and serverless infrastructure for online games. ## Why Work Here - **Culture**: “We’re the team behind the team” – employees work on high-profile gaming projects without being at a single publisher; variety of technical challenges. - **Work Environment**: Most roles are in-office (with offices in Schenectady, NY; Austin, TX; Cardiff, Wales) – no fully remote policy indicated. Hybrid opportunities may exist for some roles. - **Engineering Focus**: 56 of 91 employees (62%) are in technical roles – engineers are the core of the company. Tech stack includes Unreal Engine, Unity, Go, Python, Kubernetes, Docker, PostgreSQL, and cloud infrastructure. - **Perks & Benefits**: Not explicitly detailed, but being a small company (~81–91 people) likely offers autonomy and direct impact. Roles are split across seniority (27 senior, 22 other management) – good for experienced hires. - **Team Background**: Colleagues come from top gaming studios (Unity, Playground Games, Supermassive Games, PUBG) – strong peer learning environment. ## Sources 1.
