Backend Engineer

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 a start-up 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
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 Services
Comfortable leading projects, turning feature requests into actionable plans, and working with user feedback to build the best products possible
Expertise working with C# and ASP.NET WebAPIs, ideally using .NET Core
Strong understanding of good WebAPI design principles and patterns, especially REST, GraphQL, and Websockets
Hands-on experience architecting and implementing backends on AWS
Good understanding of databases, especially scaling and query performance. Mysql/MariaDB preferred
Some experience with Infrastructure as Code. Bonus points if you have used Terraform!
Some knowledge of Javascript or Typescript to help support our Front End developers
A commitment to building software with Security and Stability as core features, not afterthoughts
