Experienced Backend Developer

About the role

World class programming is an art and a large part of a games studio's value is born between the keyboard and the hands of the programmer. That birthplace has to be enabled and nurtured. We are looking for an experienced programmer that has jumped through a few hoops and is excited to join the team and help guide the growth of a studio and its technical foundation.

What you’ll be doing

• Contributing to many areas of the technical infrastructure supporting the game, including UI and Backend systems
• Building tools to help the entire studio work more efficiently
• Helping analyse new problems and design new solutions as the teams and projects grow
• Helping a group of great people build a fun game!

What we’d like to see

• Previous experience within a Game Studio or Publisher, preferably one specialising in Live Service or Free to Play games
• Comfortable working with Node.js, either Javascript or Typescript
• Strong understanding of good WebAPI design principles and patterns, especially REST, GraphQL, and Websockets
• Hands-on experience building backends on AWS
• Good understanding of Infrastructure as Code, specifically Terraform
• Some understanding of databases, especially scaling and query performance. Mysql/MariaDB preferred
• A commitment to building software with Security and Stability as core features, not afterthoughts
