We have an exciting opportunity to join our Engineering team in Perth and are currently looking for a Senior Engineer to join the team. 

What you should know about our Engineering team:

  • We make room to do things the right way, rather than hacking stuff in
  • You own your projects: you build it, you ship it, you run it
  • We were born in the cloud: practices and principles like CI/CD, IaC, O11y and CyberSec are part of what we do

When it comes to Learning and Development:

  • Learning is part of our fabric. We have a world class Engineering Learning and Development program and we are passionate about career development. 
  • Thought Leaders regularly give tailored talks and workshops for our team

  • We have both a technical and management track for career progression and promotions
  • We have a library of books and videos with good content and encourage staying on top of new practices. 

Our tech stack covers the full spectrum, but this role is primarily focused on backend development within our game studio team, there will be opportunities to collaborate across other parts of the stack. We host our Docker containerised apps on AWS. Within the containers, we run our math models (game backend), which are primarily developed using TypeScript and run on Node.js. Our clients are built using TypeScript and PixiJS. We use PostgreSQL for our databases and Snowflake as our data warehouse.

What you will bring to the role:

  • Robust coding practices including writing clean well structured code, automated tests, and managing source control
  • Strive to improve the code base. Deep understanding of why design and architectural decisions are made
  • Ensuring product features are being delivered effectively as measured by lead time, deployment frequency, change failure percentage, mean time to resolution and number of bugs in production
  • Experience implementing and using event-driven architectures
  • Cloud development (we are hosted on AWS)
  • Containerisation (Docker and/or Kubernetes would be great)
  • Strong fundamental knowledge of OO and Functional programming paradigms
  • A collaborative approach to software engineering
