Joining the Live Games Team

We are focused on one mission: to make our successful MMO games technologically fit for 2022 and beyond. Our legacy codebase has been around for a decade, keeping our players happy and engaged, but also outlasting the many hands that built it over the years. We respect it, but it comes with debt. We refactor it, trim it, or build around it.

We run mission-critical functionality as serverless microservices, all while feeding our huge Java monolith that just kept growing over the years, building for the future while respecting our past. Clearly this isn't for everyone. It's for the daring, the creative, the out-of-the-box-thinkers, the experienced, the multi-linguists, the hungry, the curious, the foolish, the getting-sh*-done-ers.

You want to develop your coding skills and want to achieve an amazing gameplay experience for our 500 million users? Join us now as Junior Java Backend Developer (all genders) and push our live games to the next level!
