Sr Software Development Engineer

Description

The company designs games and play experiences, including its well-known tabletop and card games, and keeps building new ways for people to connect through play.

The Services Ecosystem team keeps a live-service game running fast, stable, observable and cost-efficient, and is hiring a senior software engineer to help the platform move into a new phase of cloud native tooling.

This role suits someone who enjoys distributed systems and well-designed dashboards and wants to modernize a mature platform.

Responsibilities

• Design and build reliable, scalable services in C# and.NET on Kubernetes for the live game, aiming for high uptime and lower cost.
• Improve telemetry across Prometheus, Grafana and Datadog so that alerts and dashboards show what matters, and build clear dashboards that answer questions before they are asked.
• Improve developer experience, internal tooling and day-to-day quality of life for internal teams and the player-facing side of the product.
• Find high-impact problems worth solving, write proposals, and argue for them with the team and partners, shaping the roadmap.
• Support the full live product lifecycle and resolve production issues as they come up.
• Build your cloud native expertise and grow into related areas.
• Raise quality and efficiency across a energetic, hard-working team that cares about its work.

Requirements

• At least 4 years of professional software engineering experience, including time building and supporting a live-service product.
• Hands-on experience running scalable workloads on Kubernetes in the cloud.
• Experience with distributed, message-driven architectures such as RabbitMQ, SQS, Kafka or similar.
• Infrastructure as code experience, ideally with Terraform.
• Real observability experience with Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog or similar, and a clear view of which alerts justify waking someone up and how to keep them readable at 2am.
• A record of debugging complex problems across service boundaries using logs, metrics and persistent curiosity.
• Comfort juggling several threads at once, the ability to work independently, and an appetite for influencing the roadmap.
• Empathy for decisions made in the past, while steering the platform toward modern practices.
• Bonus points: FinOps (OpenCost, Kubecost), GitOps (Helm, ArgoCD), service coordination (etcd, ZooKeeper).

Conditions

Pay range: $133,200 - $212,100 USD.

The final salary depends on experience, skills, location and market conditions.

Eligibility for annual and long-term incentives depends on role, location and eligibility, and is part of total compensation.

The company is an Equal Opportunity / Affirmative Action Employer.
