Original job description

About You

We’re looking for a Backend Software Engineer with a strong infrastructure mindset to join our Technology team. This role sits at the intersection of backend development and platform engineering, with Kubernetes as a first-class concern , not just a deployment target.

Our platform dynamically scales hundreds of servers daily , orchestrating isolated runtime environments inside Kubernetes pods. You’ll help design, build, and evolve the backend services and infrastructure systems that make this possible - focusing heavily on Infrastructure as Code, dynamic scaling, and reliability at scale .

If you enjoy working close to the metal (while still writing application code), thinking in systems, and solving problems where application behavior and infrastructure behavior are deeply intertwined, this role is for you.

About Us

Xsolla is a global commerce company with robust tools and services to help developers solve the inherent challenges of the video game industry. From indie to AAA, companies partner with Xsolla to help them fund, distribute, market, and monetize their games. Grounded in the belief in the future of video games, Xsolla is resolute in the mission to bring opportunities together, and continually make new resources available to creators. Headquartered and incorporated in Los Angeles, California, Xsolla operates as the merchant of record and has helped over 1,500+ game developers to reach more players and grow their businesses around the world.

For more information, visit xsolla.com .

Responsibilities:

Design, develop, and maintain backend services and APIs using Node.js and TypeScript
Architect and evolve Infrastructure as Code (IaC) that drives dynamic Kubernetes scaling and orchestration
Build and maintain Docker-based deployment pipelines and runtime images
Design and optimize deployment and scaling strategies across many services and environments
Collaborate closely with engineering and DevOps to ensure systems are resilient, observable, and secure
Monitor, troubleshoot, and improve system performance, reliability, and cost efficiency
Document infrastructure patterns, operational workflows, and best practices
Stay current with emerging tools and approaches in cloud infrastructure and backend systems

Qualifications & Skills

Deep hands-on experience with Kubernetes, including: Autoscaling and capacity management, Cluster-level behavior and lifecycle concerns, and Production debugging and incident response
Strong experience building and running Dockerized workloads
Proficiency in Node.js and TypeScript for backend services
Practical experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or similar)
Experience designing and operating scalable backend systems in production

$130,000 - $160,000 a year

Benefits:

We are passionate about fostering a supportive environment for our team, so we prioritize the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of our employees and their families through a comprehensive Benefits Program.
