Navigating global standards: understand certification requirements across markets and implement logic accordingly, in collaboration with mathematicians.
Code smarter, together by collaborating with other server developers and actively sharing knowledge to uplift the entire team.
Boost performance, improve the quality, speed, and stability of our game server, internal tools, and shared libraries.
Raise the bar with rigorous code audits, so our game engines are rock-solid, secure, and fully tested.
We Consider You To Be
Fluency in OOP languages: at least 2 years of experience in languages such as Java.
Design-savvy: solid understanding of software design principles and architecture best practices.
Sharp problem solver: thrives on tackling complex challenges with clarity and precision.
Performance-oriented: skilled at optimizing algorithms for speed, efficiency, and scalability.
Strong mathematical foundation: understanding of probabilistic mathematics and its real-world application in games.
A bachelor's degree in computer science (or equivalent) is preferred.
