In this role, you'll leverage your past experience to develop scalable and resilient solutions for games, ensuring they exceed player quality expectations. You will be responsible for designing, implementing, and evolving robust technical solutions that help our partners' games delight players globally.

While prior game development experience is not required, our ideal candidates will have experience working within software development teams to deliver high-performance, highly scalable, and well-documented platform-based products. Additionally, they should have an openness to new challenges, the flexibility to adapt in the moment, and a lasting passion for games.

    • CI/CD: GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and ArgoCD

  • Agile: Experience with the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) and an understanding of Agile practices. 

  • Improvements: Demonstrated history of leaving behind artifacts and leaving something in a better state than when you found it. 

  • Problem-Solving: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a proactive approach to identifying and addressing technical challenges

  • Self-motivation: Capacity for self-motivation, the ability to work independently, and a strong work ethic.

  • Team Collaboration: Excellent communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams.

You May Also Have:

  • Experience with multiple data storage solutions, including RDBMS and NoSql. 

  • Experience driving development from ideation to deployment. 

  • Opinions on the availability, scaling, monitoring, and debugging of discovered problems.

  • Eagerness to learn about other technologies and practices to stay current and versatile.

What We Can Offer: 

  • Hybrid Working Arrangement: Our office in Cardiff is located right in City Centre, just a couple minutes away from the Cardiff Central Train Station! As a member of our team, you’ll have the flexibility to work at home and collaborate with your fellow engineers in person.

  • Competitive Salary and Benefits Package: Your health and wellbeing is important to us, so we offer a variety of benefits including: 

    • Private Pension via Salary Sacrifice

    • Optional Private Medical, Dental, and Vision Coverage

    • Annual Leave, Plus Bank Holidays and Winter Break Office Closure

  • Annual Research Credit: We always encourage personal growth, so we provide all of our team members with an annual credit to further enhance your skills! 

  • Professional Development: We offer biannual reviews, as well as opportunities to collaborate across disciplines, internal tech talks, and the chance to learn from specialists with backgrounds from across the games and software development industries. 

  • Work-Life Balance: We really believe that home life comes first and we promote a flexible working environment. And as an added bonus: We don’t crunch! 

  • Family Friendly: We understand the importance of family, which is why we offer 6 weeks full of Maternity, Paternity, and Adoption Leave to support you during this exciting time!

  • Office Perks: In addition to everything above, we also provide: 

    • Weekly Team Lunches

    • Fully Equipped Team Lounge, Including our Favourite Consoles and Games

    • And, most importantly, a supportive and creative working environment made up of talented and friendly people, as well as the opportunity to work on some pretty cool games and projects – if we do say so ourselves!
