THE POSITION

Our roster has an opening with your name on it

We’re looking for a Software Engineer to join our CPE Platform vertical, working within Core Products and Experiences. In this role, you’ll contribute to a multidisciplinary team building reliable, engaging products for millions of players. You’ll bring some hands‑on engineering experience, a practical approach to solving problems, and a willingness to learn from and support others. You’ll help deliver well‑structured software, take part in technical discussions, and contribute to documentation, collaboration, and continuous improvement across the team.

We are a growth company so there are plenty of opportunities for you to learn and grow with us, plus we have remote‑first working and a generous paid leave policy. We’re committed to making sure everyone who works here can maintain a healthy work/life balance.

THE GAME PLAN
  • You’ll work as part of our Session Management team, helping build and improve backend services that support reliable, scalable customer sessions.
  • You’ll learn how our systems work and contribute to well‑scoped features, fixes and improvements with support from more experienced engineers.
  • You’ll write clear, maintainable backend code using Java or similar languages, following team standards and best practices.
  • You’ll help build and improve APIs, services and database‑backed functionality that can handle high volumes of traffic.
  • You’ll test your changes carefully and look for simple ways to make our services more reliable, observable and easier to support.
  • You’ll take part in code reviews, design discussions, planning sessions and team ceremonies, asking questions and sharing ideas.
  • You’ll investigate bugs and support issues, working with the team to understand root causes and make practical improvements.
  • You’ll learn about scaling systems, databases, caching and cloud infrastructure through hands‑on work with the team.
  • You’ll keep documentation up to date so others can understand how our services work and how to support them.
  • You’ll collaborate closely with engineers, product partners and stakeholders to deliver changes that improve the reliability and performance of session management.
  • You’ll bring curiosity, humility and a willingness to learn, while growing your engineering judgement and technical confidence over time.
What We’re Looking For
  • Some experience building backend software through work, internships, placements, bootcamps, university projects or personal projects.
  • An understanding of Java or a similar object‑oriented programming language, and an interest in developing backend services and APIs.
  • Familiarity with databases and SQL, with an interest in learning more about data modelling, performance and scaling.
  • Awareness of common data structures, algorithms and software design principles.
  • An interest in distributed systems, reliability, monitoring and how high‑traffic backend systems operate in production.
  • Familiarity with cloud technologies, containers or CI/CD is helpful, but not required.
  • An understanding of testing basics and a willingness to write tests as part of everyday development.
  • Comfortable working in a team environment, asking questions, receiving feedback and learning from others.
  • A practical approach to problem solving and a desire to leave code and documentation clearer than you found it.
  • Enthusiasm for working on backend systems that support customer‑facing products at scale.
