Rebellion is a 30-year-old independent multimedia studio based in Oxford, best known for the Sniper Elite franchise (20M+ players) and the 2000 AD comics archive. The studio operates across games, books, comics, TV, and film, with a tech stack anchored in C/C++, Node.js, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, Kubernetes). Active hiring is heavily weighted toward design and engineering (44 of 51 open roles), with senior and lead positions dominating — signaling scaled production on multiple concurrent titles. The company is adopting both Unreal Engine and Unity while simultaneously building internal security infrastructure, reflecting the dual challenge of managing live-service scale and defending against cheating.
