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 analyze 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 specializing in Live Service or Free to Play games

• Comfortable working with Node and Javascript/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
