Platform Engineer

As a Platform Engineer, you’ll build and maintain the backend services powering a diverse portfolio of mobile games. Your work will span analytics, social features, gifting, leaderboards, LiveOps tooling, and other shared platform capabilities. You’ll develop production-grade Python services and REST APIs that can be integrated across multiple products. The role combines hands-on engineering with ownership of observability, deployments, and operational reliability. You’ll work closely with SDK engineers and other technical stakeholders to create robust API contracts and integrations. In a remote-first environment, you’ll have the autonomy to influence platform architecture while contributing directly to products used by a broad player community. Accountabilities

• Develop and maintain production backend services in Python, including REST APIs, data models, and asynchronous workers.
• Build and contribute to platform features designed to be integrated across multiple games and products.
• Design, implement, and maintain reliable APIs and backend systems that meet the needs of different game teams.
• Ensure strong observability for owned services through effective logging, metrics, and basic alerting.
• Take end-to-end responsibility for the services you release into production, including their reliability and operational performance.
• Work directly with SDK engineers to align API contracts, technical requirements, and integration approaches.
• Participate in code reviews, technical design discussions, architecture decisions, and delivery planning.
• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, deployment workflows, and broader operational engineering practices.
• Write and maintain automated tests as an integral part of the development lifecycle.
• Help improve the reliability, scalability, and maintainability of the shared platform as the product portfolio evolves.

• Ability to take ownership of production systems and proactively address reliability or operational concerns.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, particularly when working across engineering disciplines.
• Comfortable contributing to technical discussions, code reviews, planning sessions, and architectural decisions.

• Personalized benefit budget through a flexible benefit-café system, which can be used for insurance, education, fitness, or other areas supporting your well-being and work-life balance.
• Performance bonuses recognizing meaningful results, initiative, excellence, teamwork, and measurable impact.
• Fully remote-first working model, with remote work treated as the standard rather than the exception.
• High level of autonomy with minimal bureaucracy and the opportunity to bring your own technical ideas to life.
• Professional development opportunities, including learning initiatives, internal training, and strategic sessions.
• Collaborative team culture focused on shared ownership and collective success.
• Opportunity to make a direct contribution to the technology platform supporting a portfolio of mobile games.
