Job description

Role Overview

BeamNG is building a state‑of‑the‑art, real‑time soft‑body physics engine and delivering it through the game BeamNG.drive, available in Early Access on Steam. As a Senior Full‑Stack Platform Engineer you will design, build, and scale the systems that power our ecosystem – including a self‑service software delivery platform, a mod repository, authentication services and payment integrations.

Responsibilities

• Design and maintain reliable backend services using FastAPI and modern Python tooling.
• Develop user‑facing dashboards and interfaces using Vue 3 with component‑driven architecture.
• Build and maintain infrastructure for our software delivery system, mod repository, authentication, user systems and related services.
• Architect and manage data persistence using PostgreSQL and efficient object storage solutions.
• Integrate and maintain workflows with third‑party payment providers.
• Implement well‑structured RESTful APIs and collaborate with internal teams to ensure stable service integration.
• Develop and operate lightweight Docker‑based deployments; most software will be self‑hosted on lean, simple setups (no Kubernetes, no heavy cloud).
• Create CI/CD pipelines and automated tests, using AI‑assisted development tools (Cursor, automated test generation, etc.).
• Monitor and improve backend performance, scalability and reliability using maintainable, straightforward approaches.
• Apply KISS principles, keeping the codebase simple, clear, and easy to maintain.
• Produce concise documentation, architectural notes and technical designs.
• Contribute to the evolution of our mod repository, enabling creators to share, test, validate and manage mods.

Requirements

• Proven experience (ideally 5+ years) in backend or full‑stack engineering.
• Ability to independently design and deliver systems end‑to‑end without micromanagement.
• Strong proficiency in Python and experience building RESTful services with FastAPI.
• Solid experience with Vue 3, reusable components and modern front‑end tooling.
• Comfortable using AI‑assisted development, including code generation and automated testing.
• Experience with lightweight Docker‑based deployments and simple, local‑first hosting environments.
• Linux system administration skills (Bash scripting, Nginx configuration, server hardening) for managing non‑cloud‑native setups.
• Familiarity with monitoring/logging tools (Grafana, Prometheus, ELK, etc.).
• Strong understanding of distributed systems fundamentals, networking and API design.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
• A mindset centered on simplicity, maintainability and long‑term clarity.

Nice to have

• Experience with gaming, simulation or creator‑driven ecosystems.
• Knowledge of Lua, C, or C++ when interacting with game engine components or tools.
• Familiarity with modular monolith architectures and scalable, maintainable large systems.
• Background in DevOps or operational reliability.
• Experience building digital commerce, entitlement systems or content distribution platforms.

Benefits

• Flexible working hours.
• Language courses.
• Talent development program (training budget, seminars and conferences).
• Personal development program (feedback, leadership, conflict engagement).
• Budget for home office.
• Parental leave.
• Employee assistance program.
• Relocation assistance (if applicable).
