Senior Backend + DevOps Engineer; TypeScript​/Node.js

Build the future of AI, gaming, and digital products We bring together people who want to build meaningful products, explore new ideas, and see their work come to life.

01. ABOUT THE COMPANY

Dizzaract is a product-driven company operating at the intersection of gaming, digital platforms, and AI. We build and scale multiple products, including Farcana, Gamed, and FAR Labs — each exploring a different space, but united by a shared approach: moving fast, staying curious, and focusing on things that people actually use. We operate as a collaborative, non-hierarchical team where ideas are valued based on their impact, not their origin, and where AI is embedded across everything we build, from infrastructure to product decisions.

02. ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re looking for a Senior Backend + Dev Ops Engineer to build, scale, and secure the core systems behind our gaming platform and live services. This is a dual-focused role where you will not only design robust application architecture but also own the infrastructure lifecycle—from CI/CD pipelines to cloud orchestration.

This is a hands‑on engineering role where you will design architecture, implement features, and work on systems that directly impact hundreds of thousands of users.
