  • Deep understanding of RDBMS and NoSQL databases.
  • Experience with cloud infrastructures to manage large-scale game services. Experience in using Docker, Kubernetes, and other containerization/orchestration tools.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code (IaC) tools like Terraform, and ensuring automated deployment and scaling of game backends.
  • Effective communication skills to collaborate effectively with other teams, including game designers, game and systems programmers, producers, and project managers.
  • Ability to communicate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders, ensuring that business needs are translated into scalable technical solutions while aligning technical direction with product goals.

We offer a competitive salary, benefits package, and opportunities for career growth and development. If you are a motivated and experienced Lead Backend Engineer looking for a new challenge, please submit your CV in English to ensure smooth processing and review.
