Prior experience with gaming backends like matchmaking/leaderboards/inventories is strongly preferred.

Key Responsibilities

- Deploy and operate services on AWS/GCP/Azure with Docker and Kubernetes. [web:32]

- Improve observability (logging/metrics/alerting) and support production releases/live issues.

Requirements

- 5–8+ years backend engineering experience, with shipped production systems.

- Strong experience in at least one: Node.js / Java / PHP, plus relevant frameworks (Express/NestJS, Spring Boot, Laravel, etc.).

- Hands-on cloud experience (AWS/GCP/Azure) and containerization/orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).

- Strong fundamentals in APIs, networking basics, and distributed systems. [web:25]

- Previous mobile gaming backend experience (live ops, scale, low latency) is required/preferred.

Nice to Have (Gaming-specific)
