Senior Software Engineer, Backend

About the Role

Join the backend engineering team at a consumer gaming company, building features and systems that support its core product. You will own projects end to end and help the team move quickly as it grows.

What You'll Do

• Build consumer-facing backend features that support key business outcomes.

• Develop data-driven systems for challenges such as matchmaking and fraud prevention.

• Improve engineering processes and tools, including experimentation platforms and CI/CD pipelines.

• Take ownership of projects and drive them to completion 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 Google Cloud is relevant.

• Experience delivering consumer-facing backend features end to end with measurable impact.

• Background at a fast-growing startup or in a high-engineering-bar environment, with the ability to work effectively outside highly process-heavy organizations.

• 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 useful.

• A bachelor's degree in computer science or a related technical field is a plus.
