  • Experience building a CI/CD pipeline to validate and test code
  • Awareness of security/cheating implications of technology choices

Nice to have:

  • Strong database experience with both SQL and NoSQL
  • Understanding of how a backend service integrates with the game - experience with Unreal or Unity would be useful but not required
  • Experience with high-scale distributed applications with a concurrent user base ranging in the hundreds of thousands, with high uptime, and performant services
  • An understanding of how to use LLMs to process and query structured and unstructured data
What we offer:
  • Flexible working: Remote-friendly long before it was the norm, with core hours that support both great work and real life
  • Support & wellbeing: Mental health first-aiders, therapy and coaching via Myndup, plus private medical insurance to help you stay healthy and supported
