    Description

    As one of the world leaders in Game Tech and Esports Tech we're looking to add more engineers in our Elgin 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 ().

    What we're looking for:

    Ability to work in a team of other engineers

    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, scalable 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 including LiveOps platforms

    Unity / Unreal Engine experience

    AWS Serverless / SQS / EventBridge / API Gateway (esp. websocket version)

    Azure functions

    AWS Associate or Professional certification

    PostgreSQL or any RDBMS experience

    DocumentDB/Mongo/CosmosDb/Redis or any other NoSQL experience

    Mobile SDK experience

    React or other JS based UI skills

    Git / Perforce source control

    And what do we offer?

    Private medical

    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 hominids we can be. We aim for transparency, being straightforward, and super inclusive too.
