As a Senior Server Engineer at Pixel Toys, you will develop robust backend systems for high performance and reliability. You'll collaborate with designers and artists to integrate and optimize game systems, taking ownership of features from concept to deployment. Responsibilities include code profiling, identifying bottlenecks, creating technical designs, performing code reviews, and championing coding best practices. Mentoring junior engineers and expanding your technical expertise in C# .NET and AWS are also part of the role.

Based in the heart of Leamington Spa, Pixel Toys have spent almost a decade pushing the capabilities of mobile and VR gaming. We have developed multiple award-winning titles, including: Warhammer 40,000: Freeblade, Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realm War; and we’re now excited to be exclusively working on a new game, unlike ANYTHING we’ve done previously!
 
As a forward thinking and innovative studio we are always looking for new technologies and techniques to develop and use in our games and make them even more engaging experiences for our customers.
 
We are excited to continue to grow our team and are always on the lookout for highly talented and motivated individuals, who are passionate about gaming and excited to join us on our ambitious journey!
 
 
The Role:
 
Join us as a Senior Server Engineer at Pixel Toys and play a pivotal role in developing robust and scalable backend systems, ensuring our server infrastructure delivers high performance and reliability.
 
Collaborating closely with Designers, Artists, and other Developers, you will integrate and optimise game systems, contributing to the overall quality and functionality of the current game project. Taking ownership of entire features and complex systems, you will lead planning and development from concept to deployment, ensuring technical excellence throughout.
 
Your responsibilities will also include profiling and optimising critical code, identifying bottlenecks and resolving compatibility issues to maintain the highest standards of technical quality. You will create clear and detailed technical designs, whilst actively seeking feedback and validation from your peers to ensure stability and maintainability.
 
As a key technical figure in the team, you will perform thorough code reviews, offering constructive feedback to uphold best practices and align development efforts with the project’s goals. You will also champion coding best practices across the team, advocating for robust, secure, and stable server infrastructure.
 
Additionally, you will be encouraged to continuously expand your technical expertise; particularly in C# .NET and AWS, and through doing so you will complement a culture of continuous learning, innovation, and collaboration at Pixel Toys. 
 
On top of this, your deep understanding of the server tech stack will enable you to mentor junior engineers, helping them grow and develop by providing guidance and sharing knowledge.
 
 
 
About you:
 
Being proficient in C#, you will join us with a strong understanding of architectural patterns, coding standards, and modern development methodologies that guide engineering decisions.
 
You are comfortable working with monitoring tools (such as Datadog, Kibana, and PagerDuty etc.), ensuring server performance and system reliability. With practical knowledge of CI/CD tools (such as Jenkins, CodeBuild, Spinnaker, etc.), you will join us with experience in deploying and maintaining services on cloud platforms. With a solid understanding of databases and cloud infrastructure, you are well-versed in also applying security best practices consistently throughout the development and deployment cycle.
 
Thriving in an Agile environment, you will be confident working collaboratively while maintaining a proactive approach to problem-solving. With excellent troubleshooting skills you're happy to take initiative in identifying issues and implementing effective solutions. 
 
Ultimately, you will bring a genuine passion for making games as well as for solving complex technical challenges. Your positive and enthusiastic mindset will contribute to a strong team dynamic. You are committed to quality, always striving to deliver work to the highest standard, and bring both creativity and technical excellence to everything you do.
