About the Role:
We are looking for a highly skilled Senior Python Developer to join our Game Engine Development Team. Your mission will be to scale our game engine’s concurrent capability from 10X to 100X players. You’ll work with asynchronous event-driven architectures and optimize networking, caching, and messaging systems to achieve seamless, high-performance gameplay.

Key Responsibilities:

• Enhance and optimize the game engine to handle a higher number of concurrent users efficiently.
  
• Work extensively with the Twisted framework or any asynchronous event-driven framework.
  
• Implement and improve WebSocket and TCP Socket connection handling for real-time interactions.
  
• Optimize Redis for caching, Pub/Sub, and RabbitMQ for messaging to ensure stability and low latency.
  
• Improve data persistence and transaction strategies using MySQL, integrating DBSlayer as the SQL connector.
  
• Integrate and optimize HTTP API calls to external systems.
  
• Identify and resolve bottlenecks, ensuring high-performance scalability.
  
• Maintain game engine stability in a high-concurrency environment.
  
• Work with AWS, including AWS Load Balancers and Auto Scaling, to ensure smooth resource management and optimal performance.
  

Required Skills & Qualifications:

• 5+ years of Python development experience, with a strong focus on backend systems.
  
• Expertise in Python libraries to fully leverage Python’s capabilities.
  
• Strong hands-on experience with Twisted or other asynchronous event-driven frameworks (e.g., Asyncio, Tornado, Gevent).
  
• In-depth knowledge of WebSockets and TCP Socket communication.
  
• Advanced experience with Redis (caching, Pub/Sub) and RabbitMQ.
  
• Proficiency in MySQL with SQL optimization skills, preferably using DBSlayer.
  
• Proven ability to build and optimize large-scale, high-concurrency distributed systems.
  
• Strong debugging and profiling skills for network-intensive applications.
  
• Solid understanding of AWS, including AWS Load Balancers and Auto Scaling.
  
• Self-motivated, capable of working independently and collaborating within a team.
  
• Minimum BE/BTech OR MCA / ME / MTech

Nice to Have:

• Experience developing real-time multiplayer game engines.
  
• Familiarity with other message brokers and event-driven architectures.
  
• Exposure to Kubernetes, Docker, and cloud-based scaling solutions.
  

Why Join Us?

• Work on cutting-edge multiplayer game engine technology.
  
• Collaborate with a team of talented engineers solving complex scalability challenges.
