Based in Berlin, Europe's creative tech capital, our employees from
40 nations work together to develop top titles for a global audience.
Working in independent teams, Wooga's signature approach to making great
games for mobile has made us one of the world's most popular
developers.
About the job
We have very interesting technical challenges to solve, some numbers
from our live systems are: 5 million SQL + NoSQL queries per minute,
more than 10.000 http requests per second and a read/write balance close
to 50/50. At Wooga, we have a strict no nonsense policy, we believe in
good test coverage and we have the freedom to decide how to develop,
host, deploy and operate our systems. To deliver best services to our
game teams, we are constantly looking for new tools and exploring new
technologies. We are frequent speakers at conferences, and you can find
slides from our talks on Slideshare.
Who we are looking for

enjoys building high quality products used by millions. Ideally you have
a good product sense, an understanding of the web ecosystem, strong
personal initiative and the ability to prioritize. You can multi-task
