• Support both stateless and stateful services that can handle functionality like matchmaking, chat, lobby, rich presence, inventory, guilds, purchasing, community events, quests, ranking and seasons, leaderboards and much more.
  
• Setup system wide monitoring, define on call processes and make it as smooth as possible to react to issues like using feature flags to achieve no to minimal downtime.
• Support the team to analyze player behaviour and iterate the game's design based on it.
• Cloud solutions should be built to support future titles where possible.
  

Requirements

• 5+ years of industry experience.
• Experience with Google Cloud Console (GCP).
• Experience architecting all facets of highly available systems that utilize load balancing and horizontal scaling using Kubernetes.
• Experience using a quantitative approach (modeling, iterative prototyping, analysis, tools) to architect and develop robust, secure and high performing cloud services that meet demanding developer and end user experience goals.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• Hands on programming skills for full stack services development (e.g. C# including unsafe code, ASP.NET Core and Sql and NoSql DB’s).

Pluses

• Experience working with Unity3D.
• Experience working in JIRA.
• Experience with all development cycles of GaaS games.
• Track record of influencing cross-functional architects and high performance teams to define architecture.
