Job Description

Working within Ubi MTL's Harbour team, the candidate would be responsible for design, implementation, and maintenance of tools and web applications.

These tools and applications allow automation and simplification of key operations like deployments of builds and versions, or the capacity to quickly develop operational apps designed specifically for "Games as a Service" projects.

• NodeJS for back-end microservices;
• NodeJS and WebSockets for real-time information updating;
• Redis & PostgreSQL for databases;
• Docker and Gitlab CI for the testing and integration pipeline.
  

Our tools must also integrate several internal APIs.

There is a specific focus on the implementation of best development practices (continuous integration/deployment), code review, pair programming and microservice architecture.

What you'll do

• Develop and maintain frontend web applications based on internal client needs.
• Compile, understand, and analyze the operational needs of the production and service teams to best serve their interests.
• Suggest improvements by designing and implementing new systems and functions.
• Check and validate that new systems are in line with project objectives and remain coherent with the current code, optimizing when necessary.
