Job Details

Senior 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 Poland and are currently looking for a Senior Engineer to join the team. 

As a Senior Engineer, you will focus on developing the back end of a new platform system that will host millions of players. This role centres on building the customer segmentation system, offering you the opportunity to tackle unique, large-scale challenges in a dynamic environment.

What you should know about our Engineering team:

  • We make room to do things the right way
  • 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.
  • 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 bring

  • Proven experience with AWS or other cloud-based architectures.
  • Strong knowledge of Kotlin, JVM or similar programming languages.
  • Experience with DynamoDB, Flink, Kafka, or related databases and streaming services.
  • Ability to design and optimise systems for scalability and performance.
  • Able to lead the delivery of technical projects.
  • Excellent communication skills and a collaborative approach.
