Duties • Join the team that owns the back end infrastructure. • Our back end is substantial because it serves all of our applications: pushing frequent updates to in-game content; tracking usage; kicking out analytics; and powering a multiplayer system that supports concurrent matches. Most of our back end rolls up into a series of RESTful APIs used by our client side developers. • Make an instant and direct impact with the guidance of senior / lead team members, shipping stuff to (and delighting) millions of people every week. • Write clean code with solid test coverage under the review of senior / lead team members. • Assist in optimization for scalability, efficiency and maintainability in a practical, scrappy way. • Collaborate with iPhone developers, Javascript hackers, designers and producers to help define, refine, prioritize and ship new features. • Assist in the building of new products and features, but derive just as much pleasure from polishing and fixing bugs. REQUIREMENTS • Bachelor’s degree. • 2-4 years of experience. • Experience with distributed architectures, database tuning, load balancing, memcached, virtualization and other stuff you need to do to scale while improving performance / reliability and keeping costs down. • Experience with different SDLC models and productivity-and-quality-oriented software tools. • Experience building applications for the mobile web. • Knowledge of HTML, CSS, Javascript and other presentation layer technologies. • Excited to build large-scale, multi-tiered, high-performance distributed software as a part of a larger team. • Strong prioritization instincts. • Ability to quickly and adeptly learn new technologies. • An understanding of object oriented design, code re-usability and maintainability. • Enjoy working in an environment that ships frequent, small iterations - where plans are constantly in flux and good ideas triumph quickly Keywords: Software Development
