Repurposed: “This task contains portions of material that were originally submitted during the phase 3 discussion board The Software Engineering Profession in SWE311 with Professor Tricic Project Outline Overview Bungie.net is a company that serves as a community role for online gamers that have been around since 1996. Gamers continue to use the site as a place to gather information about news, events and technical information on upcoming games and projects. The primary function of the site is to serve as a community hub for anything that is Bungie Studios related. Any game or project that Bungie has is available for discussion through forums.

These people maintain the online gaming data and the website. They deal with the servers keeping them up and running. The Engineering Department has a host of position that incorporate it such as database engineers, infrastructure/platform engineers, mobile engineers, leads, online engineers, tools engineers, game server tools engineers, engine programmers, game service engineers, activities engineers, graphics pr ...
