Key skills for this role
We're a small, gaming start up in Finalnd, looking for an experienced server engineer to own the backend infrastructure and live service systems for our upcoming mobile adventure game, built in Unreal Engine.
As the first and only server engineer on the project, you will fully own the backend strategy. You will be the one we count on to make our game work as a live product - from player data and progression to social features, LiveOps, and analytics. You will ensure our systems are scalable, performant, and ready for live service.
This is a rare opportunity to join at the early stage of an ambitious project - supported by Supercell - and contribute to both the technical foundation and supporting the creative process of how we build games.
