We value folks of all ages, sex, ethnicity, colour, ethnic or national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, civil status, disability, or any other protected characteristics as per applicable law.

We are seeking a senior full-stack programmer to join the core technologies (Core Tech) team. Core Tech is responsible for developing a wide range of initiatives, including in-game features, out-of-game applications, and both backend and frontend services that support and enhance Behaviour games. To help us achieve our long-term strategic goals, we look for a candidate who can integrate into the team and play a pivotal role in developing and being accountable for major initiatives. The ideal candidate should be proficient in both frontend and backend web technologies. Knowledge of C++ and game development is a plus.

In this role you will :

• Deliver backend and frontend features. You will code new systems and refactor existing systems, working on a wide variety of features that are fast, secure, and scale well to millions of concurrent players;
• Fix bugs. Core tech services involve features that are added or improved all the time. With the features come the bugs as well as other issues. Bugs come in all shapes, forms, and priorities, from a simple fix, to a very hard to reproduce critical issue;
• Optimize both performance and memory. Issues with slow performance or poor memory usage do occur. You will profile features, detect bottlenecks, and optimize them;
• Test. You will write unit tests, functional tests, and load tests to ensure the robustness and the quality of the features you are working on;
• Work with peers. You will work with fellow programmers, tech leads, and managers on the Core Tech team, as well as programmers and developers in other disciplines on game production teams or publishing teams. Most features require working closely and collaborating with members of other teams.

What we're looking for :

• This is a senior role. You need to have at least 5 years of experience as a full-stack developer. Experience in the gaming-industry is a plus;
• Versatility. You need to be a full-stack generalist who is comfortable working on a wide variety of features: low- and high-level code, features and bugs, frontend and backend, and experience in C++, as well as in game development is a big plus;
• Experience with databases. You need to be very comfortable with relational and non-relational database technologies like MySQL, DynamoDB, and others;
• Experience with NodeJS, Typescript, web frameworks (Angular/React), and AWS services is a big plus;
• You need to be solution-oriented and possess a collaborative spirit.
