Behaviour Interactive Tech Stack

Live multiplayer gaming studio managing 60M+ players across multiple franchises

Computer Games Montréal, Québec 1,001–5,000 employees Founded 1992 Self-Owned

Behaviour Interactive operates a multi-studio network running live multiplayer games at scale, with infrastructure anchored in Unreal Engine, TypeScript/Node.js backends, and AWS/Azure cloud (Kubernetes, DynamoDB, Snowflake). The tech stack mirrors their pain points: performance optimization, high-availability multiplayer backends, and animation asset efficiency dominate engineering concerns. Hiring is accelerating across engineering (30 roles) and product (15 roles), with leadership focus on technical leads and creative directors — typical of a studio managing both live-game operations and multiple IP expansions.
