Golang Job: Backend Developer (Games & Esports) - C# - C++ - J

Game Tech Engineer (Javascript/Typescript Backend, C++, C# or Golang)

As one of the world leaders in Game Tech and Esports Tech we're looking to add more engineers in our Scottish office - Code Wizards North. We work on everything from small mobile indie titles all the way to AAA console/PC games.

If you love games and have always wanted to work in the industry then this is the ideal job for you (but we're biased : ) ). To be clear: YOU DON'T NEED TO HAVE ANY GAMES BUSINESS EXPERIENCE as we can train you on that - but you MUST HAVE THE OTHER SKILLS (obviously!).

What we're looking for:

• Ability to work in a team of other engineers
• At least 3 years of commercial programming experience (if you're a recent graduate then come talk to us but it won't be this role)
• Strong JavaScript / TypeScript / C# / Golang backend skills
• Able to write clean, scaleable and performant code
• Want to learn new skills and are happy to "jump straight in"
• Happy with a varied workload and changing mini-teams (local and remote)
• Used to working with ticket systems (github/devops/JIRA etc) and source control (git at least)

If possible we'd also love:

• Previous games experience
• Unity / UE4 / Pixi.js / Godot experience
• AWS serverless / SQS / EventBridge / API Gateway (esp. websocket version)
• AWS Associate or Professional certification
• PostgreSQL or any RDBMS experience
• DocumentDB/Mongo/Redis or any other NoSQL experience
• Mobile SDK experience
• React or other JS based UI skills
• Perforce source control

And what do we offer?

• A chance to work in the games industry & esports industry
• An amazing team to work with, learn from and enjoy their company
• Hybrid working (roughly 3 days in office / 2 days at home
• Swag - hoodies etc
• A range of work so you'll never be bored

We're a karma company that believes that we should be the best bipedal hominids we can be. We aim for transparency, being straightforward, and super inclusive too.

So here's our pitch: if you always wanted to be in games and never got the chance then carpe diem - today's the day!
