Job Details

Software Engineer

VGW is an interactive entertainment company, harnessing technology and creativity to deliver world-class, free-to-play games.
 

We have an exciting opportunity to join our Engineering team in Perth and are currently looking for an 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 are proactive in the community attending many local and international conferences; and when covid hit we held our own day-long conference: Techtonic
  • 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

In terms of our tech stack, we host our docker containerised apps on AWS, sometimes in ECS but moving to EKS Kubernetes. In the containers, we run Kotlin on the JVM. TypeScript runs our client side where it’s mostly React. Our databases are PostgreSQL and DynamoDB with 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
