Database Management: Design, develop, and manage efficient databases (SQL and NoSQL), particularly PostgreSQL and MongoDB, to store and retrieve game data securely and efficiently.


Security Best Practices: Implement robust security measures to protect player data, ensure regulatory compliance, and maintain the integrity of our game services across all platforms.


Testing & Quality Assurance: Develop and maintain unit tests, write integration tests, and conduct thorough code reviews to ensure the stability and performance of game code. Lead efforts in automated testing and CI/CD practices to streamline the development pipeline.


Monitoring & Issue Resolution: Set up and maintain monitoring tools and logging systems to proactively identify, troubleshoot, and resolve production issues before they impact players’ gaming experiences.


Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with game designers, artists, QA testers, and other team members to ensure a smooth and efficient development process from concept to delivery. Facilitate open communication and feedback within the team.


Documentation: Maintain clear, comprehensive, and up-to-date documentation for all game services, APIs, code, and deployment processes to ensure smooth transitions and ease of collaboration.


Requirements


Educational Background: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related field.


Technical Leadership Experience: Proven experience as a Tech Lead or Senior Developer, particularly with a focus on backend development in Java-based systems.


Java Expertise: Deep knowledge and extensive hands-on experience with Java, the Spring Framework, and Spring Boot for developing scalable, reliable back-end services.


Micro-services & Kubernetes: Strong understanding of micro services architecture and experience with containerisation/orchestration tools such as Kubernetes and Docker.


Cloud Platforms: Familiarity with major cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and cloud-native technologies, with experience deploying and scaling services in the cloud.


Real-time Communication Protocols: Expertise in implementing and managing real-time communication protocols like WebSockets for interactive, low-latency gaming experiences.


Database Proficiency: Proven experience with database design and management, specifically with PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and other relevant SQL/NoSQL databases.


Security Awareness: Solid understanding of security best practices in software development, including encryption, secure communication, and data protection.


Automation & CI/CD: Experience with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab), automated testing, and continuous delivery best practices to ensure smooth deployment and testing cycles.


Problem-solving Skills: Strong analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify and resolve complex technical issues.


Teamwork & Communication: Excellent communication skills, with a proven ability to work collaboratively across multiple disciplines (design, engineering, QA) and geographical locations.


Passion for Gaming: A genuine interest in gaming and a desire to create engaging, interactive, and enjoyable player experiences.
