Descripción de la oferta

We are developing a Game Backend Framework at high scale, supporting an average traffic of 3 million requests per second from all our beloved games.

Are you inspired by the idea of developing the foundation for some of the most played games in the world, like Candy Crush and Farm Heroes? Being directly involved in delivering a smooth gaming experience to 260 million players? Support for game feature development, intense event traffic handling, and highly concurrent data storage, are at the core of our work.

Our games and tech constantly evolve so we also have to evolve our teams and bring onboard people that share our passion and want to join the exciting journey ahead. This is where you come into play!

You have experience with backend development in core Java, are familiar with concurrency handling, and embrace hands- on responsibility.

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

You will be working in a team that strives to be truly agile and defines their own practices based on the needs and their specific team dynamic. We embrace collaboration, high quality standards, and a maintainable system that can live for many years to come, with whatever the future brings.

Our latest mission is to transform and migrate our on- premise infrastructure to Google Cloud Platform

We have new exciting new opportunities and are currently on a quest to modify the internals of the framework in order to leverage the new rules and best practices that apply in the cloud. We intend to make the transition invisible to the players, and smooth for all King development teams, enabling the game studios to keep serving new game content seamlessly.


 

We are looking for people in multiple teams, each with different responsibilities of the backend framework and platform. For example game development support, capabilities for persistent storage and event streaming.

  • Troubleshoot intricate production problems at high load
