As a backend programmer, you’ll be responsible for building our meta (gaming) services of a free-to-play mobile title which will be globally operated by our publisher. Hundreds of thousands concurrent users is a minimum requirement.

You are:

• Mastering multiple programming languages. Javascript/typescript (Nest.js) is our major language but there is no limit. We use other languages as well: Python, Java, Golang, Rust, C/C++, etc. Language diversity is the nature of open sources and the microservice ecosystem.
• Familiar with microservices architecture. We are using Kubernetes although microservices is more than that.
• Familiar with one of the three major public clouds. We are using AWS and many cloud native features.
• Database practices, Postgresql is our primary database and other databases like Redis, Dynamodb, etc. Familiar with cross services transactions (database per service pattern, saga patterns).
• Mastering Linux.
• Mastering Internet technologies.
• A good team player. Not just need to communicate with other programmers (client/server), there are also game designers, system engineers, database administrators, etc. And in multiple languages, Chinese, English at least.

You must demonstrate your:

• Programming skills.
• System engineering knowledge like performance tuning, services scaling.
• Database knowledge.
