About the Role

Join the engineering team at a consumer gaming company, building backend systems that support core product experiences and business growth. This role offers substantial ownership, from delivering user-facing features to improving the systems and processes that help the team move quickly.

What You'll Do

Build and ship consumer-facing backend features that support measurable product and business outcomes.

Develop data-driven systems, including matchmaking and anti-fraud capabilities.

Improve engineering workflows, including CI/CD pipelines and experimentation platforms.

Take ownership of projects from initial problem-solving through delivery, 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 ramp up quickly.

Experience owning and shipping consumer-facing backend features end-to-end with measurable impact.

Experience in a fast-growing startup or another environment with a high engineering bar and the ability to deliver with limited direction.

Familiarity with Kubernetes and Google Cloud Platform.

Background in data-driven systems such as matchmaking, fraud prevention, or recommendations is valuable.

Experience with real-time features, payments, consumer gaming applications, CI/CD, or experimentation platforms is a plus.

A degree in computer science or a related technical field is a plus.

Compensation & Benefits

Base salary range: $200,000 to $400,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is available.
