SOCIAL ECOSYSTEM

What We Do

Social Ecosystem is the Epic organization that owns the answers to three questions: Who are our players? How are they organized? and What can they do together? These areas of concern cover responsibilities including account management, parties, voice chat, child safety, in-game social overlay, stewardship of personal data, and more. Our platform is designed to be used by developers within and beyond the walls of the Epic ecosystem, and supports exciting titles like Fortnite, Rocket League, and Fall Guys.

Identity Fullstack Engineers build and support login, sign up, session management, safety and privacy controls, developer integrations, and family management features.
