About the Role

We’re a fast-growing start-up in the gaming industry, building high-performance, real-time platforms that power immersive digital experiences. We’re looking for a Principal Java Engineer to lead the design and development of scalable backend systems that support live, data-intensive applications.

This is a hybrid role based in Kolkata, ideal for someone who thrives on solving technical challenges, enjoys taking ownership, and wants to build great software in a dynamic, informal, and high-energy environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop scalable, resilient backend systems using Java (17+) and Spring Boot

• Architect APIs, microservices, and real-time backend components for gaming platforms

• Own backend infrastructure, deployment pipelines, monitoring, and system performance

• Collaborate with product and delivery teams to translate ideas into production-ready features

• Take full ownership of backend architecture — from planning to delivery and iteration

• Continuously improve code quality, engineering practices, and overall system design

Required Skills & Experience

• 10–15 years of experience in backend engineering with strong expertise in Java (preferably 17+) and Spring Boot

• Proven experience building high-performance, distributed systems at scale

• Hands-on with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure), Docker, and Kubernetes

• Strong understanding of SQL and NoSQL databases, caching (e.g., Redis), and messaging systems (Kafka, RabbitMQ)

• Solid skills in debugging, performance tuning, and system optimization

• Ability to work independently, make pragmatic decisions, and collaborate in a hybrid team setup

Good to Have

• Experience in gaming, real-time platforms, or multiplayer systems

• Familiarity with Web Sockets, telemetry pipelines, or event-driven architecture

• Exposure to CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and observability tools

Why Join Us?

• Work in a creative, fast-paced domain that blends engineering depth with product excitement

• Flat structure and high trust — focus on outcomes, not formalities

• Visible impact — everything you build will be used by real players in real time

• Informal, collaborative culture — where we take our work seriously, but not ourselves

• Flexible hybrid setup — 3 to 4 days a week in-office, with room for focused work and team alignment
