Responsibilities

• Bring new game features to life while also supporting the systems, tooling, and infrastructure behind them.
• Combine feature development with live operations, working on both player-facing functionality and the technical foundations that keep the game running.
• Take ownership of the technical areas you work on, from planning and implementation to testing and live operations.
• Collaborate closely with colleagues to shape technical solutions that work well for both the game and the people building it.

Requirements

• Experienced backend developer fluent in Kotlin and/or Java.
• Experience working with live backend services.
• Comfortable operating cloud infrastructure, ideally AWS.
• Comfortable with live operations, including troubleshooting complex production issues and balancing bug fixing and fine-tuning with longer-term improvements and planning.
• Take ownership of your work and are comfortable working independently while staying connected to the bigger picture.
• Communicate clearly and collaborate well with colleagues across different disciplines.

We Offer

• Work in a hybrid setup with flexibility to choose where you work best.
• Join a friendly, supportive, and inspiring environment.
• Be part of a team that embraces diversity and maintains a sustainable life-work balance.
