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.

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
