While in some cases a game clerk may have assigned duties to more than one game, they are considered subject matter experts in their role. Game Clerks are expected to know and understand how to configure, troubleshoot, and maintain our game servers where in addition they are the first point of contact for issues with our game servers and the first to respond.

S6 Developer

The 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment has several custom services, scripts, and software actively maintained by S6 Administrators and Developer staff. With efficiency and accessibility in mind, S6 Developers actively work to improve day-to-day operations by introducing new ways to automate tasks, implement services, and the overall development of the technologies we use. Developers are individuals with an aspiration to further their knowledge and to learn or work with several programming languages or systems in order to improve our organization and member experience. S6 Developers are given special tools or access to resources that are required to perform duties as assigned where they otherwise would not be available or not permitted. While other S6 roles have defined duties or responsibility, development staff, due to their nature are chosen projects or duties as per their individual skills or interest. An understanding of programming languages such as JavaScript, Golang, PHP, Python, C#/C++, Powershell, etc. are typically what is looked for when we are assessing if someone has the knowledge required. Development staff positions are a position given by request or invitation.
