• Develop and maintain clear, comprehensive technical documentation, tutorials, and guides to support partner integration
• Advocate for partners' successful integration and continued use of Anti-Cheat and related Epic technologies, and influence product improvements through customer insights
• Research and identify opportunities to enhance Anti-Cheat technologies and developer experience

What We're Looking For

• Highly proficient in C and C++, particularly low-level or kernel-level debugging and development
• Strong ability to analyze crash dumps and debug complex, obfuscated code at the assembly level
• Familiarity with cross-platform development (Windows, Linux, macOS), understanding differences and limitations across these platforms
• Exceptional problem-solving abilities, proactively tackling issues independently
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills to effectively collaborate with internal teams and external partners
• Ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously, work well under pressure, and prioritize to meet SLA targets
