We welcome applications from people with significant experience in developing back-end systems for games or similar environments. You should have prior experience in any leadership capacity and proven experience in commercial environments developing high-scalability online services.

A strong background in C# programming is required, as well as knowledge of Baremetal and cloud services like AWS and OVH. Experience with matchmaking systems, client-server methodologies, and technologies such as Open Match, SignalR, and Sentry is also essential.

Furthermore, you should be proficient with Source Control and Code Review tools like Perforce and Git. Skilled in orchestration technologies including Kubernetes and Agones, and experience with web technologies like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and SQL and NoSQL databases are highly valued.

This is a unique opportunity to hone your skills and gain more experience in critical backend components that power immersive gaming experiences. Please include a link to your GitHub, website, or portfolio along with your CV when applying.
