Minecraft Server Engineer (Java, Paper)

Full-Time, Salaried | Remote | Mud Club Salary: CAD $70,000 – $80,000 plus benefits Mud Club is a Canadian company and a rapidly growing online community built around inclusive, moderated Minecraft experiences. As our community grows, so do the technical demands on our platform. We are at a point where we need to level up our servers as a whole and invest in building solid, scalable systems designed for long-term growth.

We are looking for a Minecraft Server Engineer at a junior to early mid-level who is excited to grow their career while working on a real, live server spanning creative, survival, and minigames .

Minigames are a key part of our engagement strategy , and this role will play an important part in building and evolving them over time, alongside strengthening the broader server infrastructure.

What you’ll do

• Build and maintain custom Java plugins for our Paper-based Minecraft servers
• Contribute to minigame systems that drive player engagement, including game logic, states, and shared infrastructure
• Work across creative, survival, and minigames, with opportunities to gradually take more ownership of minigame development
• Help improve core server systems used across multiple game modes
• Learn and work with Velocity and Bedrock compatibility (Geyser/Floodgate) within a larger server architecture
• Collaborate on technical decisions around performance, structure, and long-term scalability

This is not a plugin-configuration role. You will be writing code, learning systems, and growing as an engineer.

What we’re looking for

• Solid Java fundamentals
• Familiarity with Paper and Minecraft server development
• Experience building at least one custom plugin or system, even if small
• Interest in minigame development and player engagement
• Curiosity, problem-solving ability, and a desire to learn
• Comfort working on a live server and iterating over time

Nice to have

• Minigame mechanics such as lobbies, matchmaking, game states, or resets
• Familiarity with Velocity or proxy-based server setups
• Experience with Bedrock compatibility (Geyser/Floodgate)
• MySQL, Redis, or other persistence systems
• Open-source contributions or personal Minecraft projects

What we offer

• Full-time, salaried role (CAD $70,000–$80,000 depending on experience and growth trajectory)
• Health and wellness benefits
• Paid time off, including vacation and statutory holidays
• Fully remote work
• A supportive environment focused on learning and mentorship
• Meaningful ownership over systems that players actively use
• A clear path to grow into a more senior or lead role as the platform scales
• A mission-driven community that values doing things right

How to apply

Please Include

• A GitHub profile or repository showing relevant work, and
• A short explanation of something you’ve built or worked on related to Minecraft servers or plugins

Links matter more than formal resumes.

Why is this role different?

• Minigames are treated as core product features, not side projects
• You’ll learn by working on a real, growing server
• We’re investing in your growth, not just short-term output
