● Enjoy collaboration and partnering with others to hone their craft/skills to execute on the technical vision of the
game.
● Monitor scalability metrics, as well as help define and drive proper channels for live service monitoring and support.
● Use judgment to suggest solutions that balance customer needs, business constraints and technological realities.
● Provide timelines to Production to ensure schedules are achievable and appropriate steps are taken to mitigate risk.

EXPERIENCE AND SKILLS WE LOOK FOR:
● 4+ years of backend engineering experience, ideally within games.
● Preferably has shipped at least one session-based live service title.
● Has strong knowledge of web API design and best practices.
● DevOps experience is a big plus
● Experience in Kotlin or Java is also a plus
● Collaborates effectively with interdisciplinary remote team members.
● Desire to take initiative and have the ability to work independently in a highly flexible environment.
● Prior experience working in a startup environment is a plus.
● Must be comfortable working across various time zones.

WHY WORK WITH US?
● We offer a competitive salary and benefits.
● We offer generous paid time off.
● You can work fully remote (some quarterly travel for team offsites).
● We have a fun, working prototype and some unique marketing levers in our back pocket.
● We are genuine – and we want you to be yourself and seek to foster an inclusive environment with us.
● We embrace diversity and desire to build a team of open-minded and unique individuals with different perspectives.
● We have a sense of humor and while we take the work seriously, we take ourselves less so.
● You will be hard-pressed to find a happier group of people to work alongside.
● More about the project can be explained under NDA
