The Team
For our Platform and Game Servers Team, we're looking for a senior software engineer with a platform background who can help us realize the platform vision at EFG. You'll need a solid background in building APIs using Golang and a good understanding of gRPC, databases, and the architectural principles guiding the systems you've developed from inception to implementation. You excel as an engineer but are not afraid of infrastructure, networking and cloud environments. We have extensive CI/CD pipelines so deploying to production happens regularly, we’ll aim to have you get code into production from day 1. It will be a bonus point if you have experience in gaming-related networks and optimizing their performance, including aspects such as network acceleration, backbone networks, and network peering.
Your role will involve splitting your time between enhancing the next generation of game server platforms at FACEIT and sharing responsibility for the cloud platform that supports the wider EFG ecosystem. The roadmap for the next year includes upgrading our hybrid cloud scaler, creating new observability and control plane systems for global game server capacity as well as ensuring the platform is secure and enabling other areas of the engineering organization to succeed.
