As a Software Engineer, you will build, maintain, and improve backend systems and internal tools that support live game operations, game configuration, and administrative workflows. You will work across a large Django codebase and Vue-based tooling to deliver reliable features, fix issues, and help keep live-service systems stable, scalable, and efficient.
Responsibilities:
Develop and maintain backend features in Python and Django across game systems, live-ops tooling, player systems, and administrative applications.
Build and support internal web tools and workflows used to manage game data, events, messaging, rewards, and operational configuration.
Contribute to frontend functionality in Vue.js for admin panels and live-ops interfaces.
Implement APIs, business logic, data models, and supporting services in a large shared production codebase.
Work with MySQL, Redis, and DynamoDB-backed systems to support gameplay features and operational workflows.
Help maintain blueprint-driven game configuration systems and related data pipelines, including JSON-based content and FlatBuffer serialisation workflows where needed.
Debug production and staging issues, troubleshoot data or configuration problems, and help deliver safe fixes in a live-service environment.
Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code, with attention to query performance, system reliability, and long-term maintainability.
Partner with QA, product, design, and other engineers to ship features and support ongoing game operations.
Participate in code reviews, testing, and release readiness for backend and tooling changes.
Requirements:
