About the role...

• We’re building our infrastructure so that it can be
Functional - providing an amazing player experience is paramount
Reliable - we want to build things in a way that avoids any downtime
Scalable - so that we’re ready for any number of players who show up
Maintainable - we’re operating and maintaining the services that we write
Available - it’s important that all of the functionality is available on a variety of platforms


• Our team is highly collaborative, we design and review things together.
• Our infrastructure is built in Golang, placed in Docker containers and run by Kubernetes.
• We partner closely with the rest of the development team who’s building our game client and server in C#
• We make use CI/CD where ever possible to automate deployment and testing of our services
• In addition to using off the shelf observability and monitoring, we build tooling to help us operate our services using HTML/TS/Bootstrap/D3.js
• Our services are as stateless as possible towards our goals of being reliable and scalable, but when we do persist state, we make use of Memorystore (Redis Cluster) and Firestore.
• Experience in these technologies is great, an aptitude for picking up new technologies is even better.

• Practice candor and feedback, leveling ourselves and each other up in the process.
• Play games and have fun together, kindling our own love for games and learning about each other.
