Senior Web Services Engineer

About the Company

We aim to provide an exemplary work environment, and seek well-rounded people — creative, industrious and kind — to join our team.

We desire to increase our diversity, and believe that the more our team resembles the global community of players, the better we’ll be able to understand and meet their needs.

We are committed to providing a workplace free of discrimination and harassment, where people are judged on merit.

Our development philosophy is focused on sustaining developer happiness, maximizing iteration speed, and learning from player feedback. We know from experience it is sensible to ship games without crunch-time and have done so successfully, repeatedly.

Our team is composed of veteran developers with key contributions to the development of Warcraft, Diablo, StarCraft, Guild Wars and Magic: Arena. We seek team members who are enjoyable to work with and who will enhance our efforts, as we believe creating great games is a group endeavor made better with trust between teammates.

We aim to build games that will be cultural touchstones, the measure by which other games are judged. We seek remarkable people to join our team, and offer a comprehensive compensation package.

About the Role

As a Web Services engineer you'll be skilled at creating online web services, and have experience building the APIs that support the end user experience. You may also have some experience developing the "front-end" client that's rendered by web browsers, but that's not the focus of your efforts, and other folks on our team can help polish the HTML and CSS to make things beautiful.

In this role you'll develop web services critical to players' journeys in our online games. Your services will be accessible through the game client, web browsers and mobile devices, and enable players to register, participate, learn, share, and receive rewards, and so are essential for building on the core gameplay experience. Because millions of players use these systems, you'll be building services that function reliably even at massive scale.

We're looking for someone who enjoys the range of tasks required to create online services, from web development to services development to deployment automation. And we particularly seek folks who care about providing the best possible experience for players.

At our studio you'll be involved in the entire life-cycle of feature development, from design & architecture to implementation & operationalization, from client to server, and from the player experience to back end services.

We're interested in folks with great software engineering skills and a player-first approach to development. We don't expect candidates to know everything, and so provide training and an educational stipend. What we don't know, we can learn together.

While our game client and game server are developed in C#, we're a polyglot bunch and use/have-used/would-use-again Kotlin, Elixir, Rust, Go, Clojure, Python, Ruby, Bash, TypeScript, and of course JavaScript.

While we've already started on the game there is more we aim to accomplish together -- come join us!
