Job Description:

Are you inspired by the idea of delivering a smooth gaming experience to 260 million players?!

Join the Game Backend Framework Team! We are responsible for developing and maintaining the Backend Platform for all games at King. In our team, we focus on performance and scalability–our platform supports an average traffic of 3 million requests per second from all our beloved games. We work closely with King’s teams to support game feature development, handle intense traffic events and highly concurrent data storage.

In our daily work, we promote creativity and innovation by adopting the latest technologies and constantly improving and evolving our platform. Our latest mission is to transform and migrate our on- premise infrastructure to Google Cloud Platform in order to leverage the benefits and best practices of the cloud. We intend to make this transition invisible to the players and smooth for all King development teams, enabling the game studios to keep serving new game content seamlessly.

• You believe in craftsmanship and enjoy writing clean, high- quality code. You are humble and open, ask for feedback and collaborate with your peers to create the best possible solutions.
• Having hands- on experience from the game industry and cloud platforms is not required, but we will help you become efficient in these contexts.

You will be responsible, among other things to

• Develop, maintain and support one of the world’s most used game platforms

With us, you will be part of developing software running on thousands of game backend servers, working closely with our teams in Stockholm as well as other teams spread across the world.

In our team we strive to be truly agile, by independently defining our goals, ways of working and best practices.
