  • Utilize containerization technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes to ensure efficient deployment and scaling of backend services.
  • Manage and optimize game data storage solutions using MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, ensuring high availability and performance.
  • Ensure the scalability, reliability, and security of game backend infrastructure, implementing best practices in load balancing and distributed systems.
  • Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior backend developers, driving best practices and innovation across the team.

  • Strong understanding of scalability, load balancing, and distributed systems.

Bonus Points

  • Knowledge of microservices architecture and serverless computing.
  • Experience in performance profiling and optimization in large-scale environments.
  • Passion for gaming and understanding of player-centric backend architecture.

Why you'll love working here

  • Negotiable based on experience and skills.
