SENIOR ENGINEER

VGW is an interactive entertainment company, harnessing technology and creativity to deliver world-class, free-to-play online social games.
We have an exciting opportunity to join our Engineering team in Bucharest and are currently looking for a Senior Engineer to join the team.
In this role, you will design and build backend systems that support millions of players, working closely with engineers and product stakeholders to deliver scalable, high-performance features.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT OUR ENGINEERING TEAM:

• We make room to do things the right way
• You own your projects: you build it, you ship it, you run it
• We were born in the cloud: practices and principles like CI/CD, IaC, O11y and CyberSec are part of what we do
  In terms of our tech stack, we host our docker containerised apps on AWS, sometimes in ECS but moving to EKS Kubernetes. In the containers, we run Kotlin on the JVM. TypeScript runs our client side where it’s mostly React. Our databases are PostgreSQL and DynamoDB with Snowflake as our Data warehouse.

• Strong skills in TypeScript and Node.js, with exposure to React
• Experience working with cloud infrastructure (ideally AWS)
• Proven track record with high-load systems and distributed architectures
• Ability to troubleshoot performance issues and optimise backend systems
• Strong communication skills with the ability to mentor and collaborate across teams
