• Collaborate across teams to deliver features that directly impact player engagement and business growth
• Troubleshoot and resolve critical production issues, including performance optimization and system reliability
• Champion best practices while adapting our development processes to what works best for our fast-growing environment
What we are looking for
• Expert-level Java skills with deep knowledge of Core, Collections, Streams, and advanced Concurrency patterns
• Proven experience architecting and maintaining distributed systems in high-load production environments
• Strong expertise with Spring/Boot Core, ORM frameworks (Hibernate-style), and SQL optimization
• Solid understanding of Kafka, REST APIs, Docker/containerization, and cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure)
• Advanced troubleshooting abilities using monitoring tools like Kibana, Grafana, and Sentry
• Upper-intermediate English with the confidence to challenge ideas constructively and drive technical discussions
Why you will love it
You'll be building something completely new—no legacy code, just modern tech stack and greenfield opportunities. Work with cutting-edge technologies like Java 25, Spring 6+, Kafka 3.6, and GCP in a culture that values your expertise over rigid processes. Enjoy the freedom to make real technical impact while being part of a fast-scaling gaming company where your contributions directly shape the player experience for millions worldwide.
