Associate Software Engineer, Platform

ABOUT OUR STUDIO

Our headquarters is where the gaming culture and Southern California lifestyle meet, creating a vibrant work environment that epitomizes our belief that every day should be well played.  Daybreak San Diego is the home of Darkpaw Games, creators of the legendary EverQuest and EverQuest II games.  This is also the home of Rogue Planet Games, developer of the award-winning MMOFPS PlanetSide 2.

The perks of working at Daybreak San Diego extend well beyond the beautiful weather in this prime location.  Access to the local gym, as well as on-site fitness classes, game nights, and a strong appreciation for the local craft brew scene (we even turned one of our original game servers into an on-site kegerator) are just some of the ways that make working at Daybreak (San Diego) exciting!  Working here is about being part of a community.
