Well Played Games is an experienced and ambitious video game development company based in Leamington Spa, developing a wide variety of games across a range of platforms.
We are looking for an experienced Backend Developer to join our technical team as we begin our next phase of growth.

The Role
You will be responsible for the design and development of microservices to support new game features. You will also be involved in the rest of the team’s backend work by providing technical oversight, support and code review.
As an experienced backend developer, you will be encouraged to contribute to the analysis and pragmatic selection of technologies and paradigms we use, and to the overall quality, reliability, scalability, and performance of our online services.

Our Technology
At Well Played our technology strategy has been to focus on loosely-coupled microservices and established paradigms, in order to overcome the limitations of monolithic third party solutions and ‘home-rolled’ proprietary tech.
We believe strongly in using the right tool for the job, in not reinventing the wheel, and insatisfying a project’s requirements with reusable game-agnostic components.
We are not tied to any one specific technology or provider, and for our server infrastructure have leaned into Google Cloud Platform and Kubernetes for unlimited scalability.
Our backend infrastructure was built alongside development of Warhammer Combat Cards , a large-scale online mobile title. Our suite of microservices, written primarily in NodeJS and Golang, support the features and live operations of the game, as well as team workflow through automation and continuous integration. We are now iterating on the quality and performance of our server-side infrastructure and services, while extending to support new game features and future projects.

Your Experience

• You must have extensive experience delivering backend services – through design,development, deployment, release, and servicing.
• You must have a high level of skill in NodeJS or Go.
• You should have experience working with cloud platforms, ideally Amazon Web Services or Google Cloud Platform.
• You would ideally have experience working with Linux containers, especially Docker and Kubernetes.
• You should have a keen eye for deconstructing problems and an architectural mindset.
• You must have a strong interest in trends and developments in cloud technology.
• You must have excellent communication skills, especially with regard to collaborative
  technical design, knowledge sharing, and driving high standards.
