Senior Software Engineer, Backend

About the Role

Join the backend engineering team at a consumer gaming company, where you will own significant parts of the engineering system. You will build features and data-driven systems that support core business outcomes while helping the team scale its ability to ship.

What You'll Do

• Build consumer-facing backend features that improve key business metrics.
• Develop data-driven systems for challenges such as matchmaking and fraud prevention.
• Improve engineering processes and delivery systems, including experimentation platforms and CI/CD.
• Take projects from problem definition through implementation and launch 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 with Kubernetes and GCP is relevant.
• Experience shipping consumer-facing backend features end-to-end and measuring their business impact.
• Experience in a fast-growing startup or another high-performing engineering environment, with the ability to deliver independently.
• Background with data-driven systems such as matchmaking, fraud prevention, or recommendations is helpful.
• Experience with real-time features, payments, consumer gaming, CI/CD, or experimentation platforms is valuable.
• A degree in computer science or a related technical field is preferred.
