Backend Engineer Generalist - Creative Play

As a Backend Engineer in the Platform Team at Embark you will be an enabler, creating crucial building blocks for current and future state of the art games.

You will build backend systems for one of Embark's upcoming creative games; participating in the whole tech stack, from databases and service layers, down to the game engine integrations.

Even though you’re a backend engineer you’ll be invited to participate in various parts of our game development process. We build this together!

We’re not only building the underlying service frameworks that our vision relies on, we are also in close collaboration with other teams building the tools that make us move forward on a daily basis. We are all software developers with deep knowledge and a grand passion for Rust development.

A day at Embark will entail building services based on existing open source crates, as well as our own in-house framework and libraries. You will likely work in many of our open source crates and probably participate in other open source projects not built inside Embark. Our defined vision is to contribute to the Rust community while learning from it.

In this role, your responsibility would not only be within backend & infrastructure development, but can include data, telemetry, and machine learning - all glued together in the heart of creative play. Welcome to Embark.

Example of Responsibilities

- Invent next generation of game backend systems which will power the future of Embark's games

- Produce and review high quality code

- Participate in planning/roadmap-making and technical/architectural decisions for our platform

- Participate in planning, development and infrastructure initiatives

- Help out in mentoring and onboarding of new colleagues

- Interact between teams and domains to ensure we follow best practices.

We would love if you have

- A passion for enabling other game makers to create!

- Software Development skills with a strong desire to get into Rust

- Backend development experience, preferably from a DevOps context

- A solid experience of cloud infrastructure and build and deployment tools such as kubernetes and docker

- Interested in Machine Learning or have worked with backend tools powering ML-systems

- A will and ability to drive initiatives, efforts, or projects, maybe you thrive in a responsibility as a ScrumMaster or Product Owner?

- Professional English communication skills.

At Embark we offer competitive salaries, passionate colleagues to share knowledge with and much more, but most of all we invite you to take part of a journey into the unknown, to build creative, surprising and beautiful experiences together.

We welcome game makers of all sex, class, colour, age, gender identity, education, religion, opinion, culture, nation of origin, language, sexual orientation, shape, size, and ability. Did we leave anyone out? Well, we welcome you, too! We think that the gaming industry is made better when everyone has a seat at the table.

Be yourself at Embark and make games while doing so. Please apply with confidence. We can’t wait to hear from you (in English)!
