Senior Backend Software Engineer

About the Role

Join the engineering team at a consumer gaming company to build backend systems and features that support its core business. You will own projects end to end, solve data-driven challenges, and help the team deliver at a fast pace.

What You'll Do

• Build consumer-facing backend features that contribute to core business goals.
• Develop data-driven systems for challenges such as matchmaking and fraud prevention.
• Improve engineering processes and delivery tools, including experimentation platforms and CI/CD pipelines.
• Take ownership of projects from initial problem-solving through launch and iteration.

What We're Looking For

• Five to eight years of backend software engineering experience, ideally in a fast-growing startup or another high-bar engineering environment.
• Proficiency in Go, or the ability and willingness to ramp up quickly.
• Experience shipping consumer-facing backend features end to end and measuring their business impact.
• Comfort working with limited direction and taking initiative in a fast-moving environment.
• Experience with data-driven systems such as matchmaking, fraud prevention, or recommendations is a plus.
• Experience with real-time features, payments, consumer gaming applications, CI/CD, or experimentation platforms is valuable.
• Familiarity with Kubernetes and Google Cloud Platform is useful. A computer science or related technical degree is also valued.
