Senior Software Engineer | Live Games

Requisitos

• At some point in a senior engineer's career, they stop asking permission to make the architectural call — and start asking what the right call actually is
• That's the level we're hiring at
• Wildlife's Live Games Tech team operates with real end-to-end accountability
• You'll make architectural decisions for systems serving millions of daily players — not write proposals that cycle through approval layers, but actually decide, implement, ship, and own the outcomes
• You'll define how the team operates in production
• You'll shape the technical direction of features from their earliest conversations
• And when something breaks in production, you're the person who was already thinking about it
• Our stack: Unity/C# on the client, Go on the backend, AWS and Kubernetes for infrastructure. ## **WHAT YOU'LL LEAD** - Architectural design and implementation of complex features across mobile client and backend — with explicit, documented trade-offs - Full technical ownership of your domain: performance, scalability, long-term maintainability, and accountability for the outcomes - The full production cycle: shipping, monitoring, reading post-release signals, iterating fast without sacrificing quality - The team's observability practices: SLIs, alerting, dashboards, incident response processes that hold up under pressure - Proactive improvements to the codebase — not as a separate track, but as part of how you operate - Technical development of junior and mid-level engineers through code reviews, pair programming, and design discussions - Feature direction in collaboration with product and design from the very first conversation ## **WHAT YOU'LL NEED** - Deep experience as a developer with production systems at scale - Proven background in software architecture and system design for live environments - Experience with monitoring, observability, and incident response in production - A clear track record of leading technical initiatives and raising the bar for those around you - Working proficiency in English ## **WHAT WE'D LOVE TO SEE** - Unity/C# for mobile - Go and Kubernetes-based backends - AWS - A background in games or other high-traffic consumer products ## **WHO YOU ARE** You've shipped things that live in production and you understand what ownership really means
• You make architectural decisions with confidence — and you can explain the why to engineers, product, and leadership without losing the room
• You think in systems
• You don't wait for the perfect spec
• And when something breaks in production, you're the one people want to have been already thinking about it. ## **ABOUT WILDLIFE** Wildlife is one of the leading mobile game developers and publishers in the world
• We have released more than 60 titles, reaching billions of people around the globe
• Here, we create and maintain games that will excite, intrigue, and engage our players for years to come! ## **EQUAL OPPORTUNITY** Wildlife is proud to be an Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action employer
