About the role

About the Role

Join the backend engineering team at a consumer gaming company, building features and systems that support core business goals. You will take ownership of substantial engineering work and help the team ship effectively as it grows.

What You'll Do

  • Build consumer-facing backend features that contribute to measurable business outcomes.
  • Develop data-driven systems for challenges such as matchmaking and fraud prevention.
  • Improve engineering processes and delivery systems, including experimentation platforms and CI/CD.
  • Own projects from initial design through launch, working with limited direction.

What We're Looking For

  • Five to eight years of backend software engineering experience.
  • Proficiency in Go, or the ability and willingness to become productive in it quickly; experience with Kubernetes and GCP is relevant.
  • Experience delivering consumer-facing backend features end-to-end with measurable impact.
  • Background at a fast-growing startup or in a high-engineering-bar environment, with the ability to work effectively outside highly process-heavy organizations.
  • Experience with data-driven systems such as matchmaking, fraud prevention, or recommendation engines is a plus.
  • Experience with real-time features, payments, consumer gaming applications, CI/CD pipelines, or experimentation platforms is helpful.
  • A bachelor's degree in computer science or a related technical field is preferred.
