About the Role

As a Senior Full Stack Engineer, you’ll join the team responsible for delivering core game technology and player-facing systems. You will design and deliver scalable, secure, and production-ready applications across Java backend services and modern JavaScript/TypeScript frontends—with a strong emphasis on systems that support gaming workflows, game operations, live service features, or high-performance digital entertainment products.

You’ll operate as a subject matter expert—owning complex technical solutions end-to-end, supporting established codebases, and mentoring engineers through best practices, design guidance, and technical leadership. Experience working in gaming environments—whether game tooling, online services, live-ops platforms, launchers, game telemetry pipelines, monetization systems, or similar—is essential.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to all stages of the SDLC: build secure-by-design, production-grade code; implement automated testing; conduct code reviews; and support deployments.
• Ensure solutions meet technical requirements, product objectives, and internal engineering standards through rigorous review and technical leadership.
• Own the quality of deliverables for domains where you serve as subject matter expert.
• Evaluate off-the-shelf solutions versus in-house implementations and recommend best-fit approaches.
• Support teams by breaking down work into clear, manageable, and accurately estimated stories that deliver value each sprint.
• Proactively identify system, service, and process improvements; communicate proposals clearly and collaborate across teams to deliver enhancements.
• Provide on-call support to troubleshoot and resolve out-of-hours production issues.
• Work effectively across front-end and back-end codebases, including established legacy code where required.

Requirements

• Extensive experience delivering web applications or large-scale software projects as a Senior Engineer.
• Demonstrated experience in gaming, game technology, or high-traffic player-facing systems (e.g., game backend services, matchmaking, leaderboards, telemetry, game publishing tools, live-ops platforms, digital distribution, etc.).
• Comfortable working across both frontend and backend systems as a true full stack engineer.
• Proficiency in Java with deep understanding of its ecosystem.
• Hands-on experience with Spring Boot and modern web backend architecture.
• Experience building and integrating RESTful services and publish–subscribe messaging systems.
• Familiar with microservices architectures, including containerized deployment patterns.
• Strong experience with JavaScript/TypeScript.
• Proficiency in modern frontend frameworks such as React.
• Experience implementing high-performance, maintainable UI components (especially relevant for internal game tools, dashboards, and live-ops interfaces).
• Experience working with AWS and managed AWS services in production environments.
• Experience managing infrastructure via IaC tools such as Terraform.
• Familiarity with Docker and Kubernetes for container orchestration.
• Strong experience with automated testing frameworks (unit, mock, integration).
• Good knowledge of version control and CI/CD platforms such as Git, Bitbucket Pipelines, Bamboo, plus supporting tools like Ansible and Helm.
• Proven experience working on established codebases.
• Solid debugging, profiling, and performance optimization abilities.
• Strong communication skills, capable of explaining complex solutions to non-technical stakeholders.
• Analytical problem-solving mindset and the ability to take meaningful ownership.

Nice to Have

• Additional experience with Perforce or other CI/CD systems.
• Broader exposure to cloud-native architecture patterns and observability tooling.
• Experience working within gaming, entertainment, or high-traffic application environments.

Benefits

• Fixed Shifts: 12:00 PM - 9:30 PM IST (Summer) | 1:00 PM - 10:30 PM IST (Winter)
• No Weekend Work: Real work-life balance, not just words
• Day 1 Benefits: Laptop and full medical insurance provided
• Support That Matters:Mentorship, community, and forums where ideas are shared
• True Belonging: A long-term career where your contributions are valued
