Design, build, and maintain scalable server-side systems that power core game features including player data, live ops, matchmaking, and social features
Collaborate closely with Gameplay Engineers, Designers, and Producers to implement and ship backend features that support a great player experience
Own backend features end-to-end, from technical design and implementation through testing, deployment, and live support
Build and maintain reliable, observable, and performant services with an eye toward scalability as the player base grows
Contribute to backend architecture decisions and help establish engineering standards for a growing team

Requirements

5+ years of professional software engineering experience, including meaningful backend ownership on at least one shipped online or mobile title
Strong proficiency in Typescript and at least one other backend language, such as Go, Python, or Rust
Experience designing and maintaining RESTful or real-time APIs, with a solid understanding of networking fundamentals
Familiarity with GCP and/or Firebase tech stack, including deployment, monitoring, and scaling
Understand the “Why” of the features you’re building, and collaborate with the team to find creative solutions to enhance development speed and quality
Solid understanding of databases (both relational and NoSQL) and experience optimizing for performance, high scalability, and reliability
Experience leveraging AI tools and LLMs to accelerate backend development, code review, or documentation workflows
Strong communication and collaboration skills, comfortable working cross-functionally in small, fast-moving teams
Self-motivated and comfortable with ownership in an ambiguous, early-stage environment

Nice to Have

Experience building backend systems for mobile free-to-play games, including live ops infrastructure, event systems, or economy services
Experience with real-time multiplayer or social features such as guilds, leaderboards, or co-op systems
Familiarity with Unity and experience integrating server-side systems with a Unity client

Compensation

CA$105,000 – CA$135,000 depending on experience, plus health/vision/dental coverage, RRSP matching, and equity.
