Supercell
Senior Server Engineer
Helsinki
FULL TIME
November 26, 2024
Your focus will be in developing the internal framework that is used for developing and running the game server backend. We prefer if you are interested in working on common backend features and you also like to do backend infrastructure related development.
In the Server Tech team you will be working with other Server Engineers based on our roadmap. Our roadmap and work must be aligned with the needs and interests of the independent game teams. Communication between server engineers in the Server Tech team and other teams is absolutely vital to our success. Game development is a team sport, so we work together to achieve the best results and we believe in a culture of knowledge sharing. Our server engineers frequently share learnings, both successes and failures, across the teams to make each team better. You must be humble, pragmatic and willing to admit and explain your mistakes.
If you have experience in developing live systems using virtualized computing, and you understand what it means to support a system with large user volumes, you might just be the person we're looking for!
Responsibilities
- Feature development and testing of in-house common server framework supporting game backend development
- Design and implement changes to the cluster architecture for large game server architecture in a cloud
- Contribute to best practices on cloud scalability, reliability, availability and security
- Develop, setup and maintain upgrade procedures for cloud infrastructure
- Stay up to date with relevant cloud and industry technologies
- Optionally offer round-the-clock, first-line support to the production environments, as part of a rotating on-call duty
- Excellent Java programming skills, including experience with server-side Java, concurrency handling, and distributed systems
- Ability to design and implement high performance distributed systems
- Experience with cloud computing (e.g. AWS or GCP), automation and Ia C
- Being passionate and committed to tasks, and in general an autonomous person with high levels of initiative and energy
- An open and respectful attitude towards others and their work
- Experience (or good understanding) of large scale container deployments (using for example EKS, ECS, Fargate, GKE)
- Good communication and teamwork skills with a positive attitude.
- Good experience with Linux shell and common scripting languages
- Knowledge of network design, security and protocols
- Previous working experience on high-throughput live systems is a big plus. If absent, then at least a solid appreciation of the challenges involved is expected
- Prior experience in game development is a plus but not required as long as you are passionate about games
- Knowledge of cloud security
- Knowledge of Terraform Ia C tool
- Knowledge of Zoo Keeper
Benefits and Compensation
Luring you in with glitter, glamour, and gems is not what we seek to do. We develop Supercell as an employer for you to do your best work and to call this the best experience in your professional life.
We want you to enjoy your time here fully, so we structure our compensation and benefits to serve this purpose. It starts with perceiving you as a human being, not a resource.
About Supercell
We are a game company based in Helsinki, Finland, with offices in San Francisco, Seoul and Shanghai. Since our launch in 2010, we've released six games globally – Hay Day, Clash of Clans, Boom Beach, Clash Royale, Brawl Stars, and Squad Busters.
To make six games, we've killed dozens along the way. That's because we're obsessed with quality. Our mission is to create great games that as many people as possible play for years and that are remembered forever. To achieve this goal, we put together the best possible teams and give them the freedom and independence to succeed.
You Might Love It Here...
If you love games, Supercell is the place for you. We're made up of proactive, independent teams that have the freedom to do what they think is best for their players, our games, and the company.
We know it takes more than trust and independence to make great games, so we also take good care of our people, providing them with the compensation, work environment and resources they need to succeed and have fun while at it.
This position is in Helsinki, but you're not?
Luckily, moving to Helsinki is easier than you might think. No matter where you would be moving from, our dedicated people will help you from beginning to end. We're here to ensure the process is as smooth as possible for you, your family and whoever and whatever you bring along. In addition to cats and dogs, we've even relocated a horse.
Not sure if you should apply?
Do it! You might feel like you don't tick all the listed requirements with stellar scores. That's fine! We're here to help you succeed. Also, we're happy to learn about any specific accommodations you might require to fully engage in our recruitment process.
And here's a video about what we do. (Best enjoyed with salmiakki and rye bread)
