Backend Service Developer

Do you want to be part of creating a safe, playful, and friendly online space for kids to hang out and explore together?

As a Backend Service Developer here at Toca Boca you will be part of a growing game team in delivering our most ambitious project ever - a friendly multiplayer world for children where they can feel safe, creative and be able to express themselves.

You will help guide and contribute to Toca Boca’s journey from premium apps to a games-as-a-service live production. You will be contributing to a fresh project without the burdens of old legacy code where both the code and the team is flexible to adapt. Since we’re breaking new ground there isn’t much pre-determined “this is how we do it”. You’ll be part of laying that out.

What you’ll be doing
You’ll be part of our most complex and ambitious project yet; our first multiplayer playground! You’ll strengthen our back-end and cloud development capabilities to ensure delivery and support of connected features needed by the game.

You’ll collaborate with other team members to identify their needs from a back-end perspective, and together you’ll work out the development route to take. Aligning with and contributing to a culture and set of practices that ensure long-term stability and quality of life for binaries and humans alike.

Is this you?
You’re an experienced developer working with Go microservices on Kubernetes. You have experience working with a DevOps mindset and can provide pragmatic support in our journey to deliver live services.

You’re used to working in an agile and collaborative atmosphere. You’re open to changes and adjustments/iterations of team ways of working.

You believe in the power of play.

This is us!
Toca Boca captures the spirit of play. We create digital toys and everyday products that are filled with fun and silliness that kids from any corner of the world can instantly relate to. Everything is designed from their perspective. We celebrate the diversity and quirkiness of their world and give them the freedom to play in ways that only they can dream up.

This position is full time and based in our Stockholm office. We apply 6 months of probationary employment. As we’re an international company, with over 10 nationalities and millions of users all over the world, you have to be fluent in English. Your application should therefore be in English.
