Backend Developer - Game

What You'll Do

Help design and build the multiplayer game server architecture — session management, matchmaking, authoritative game state, and real-time sync

Work on the Photon Fusion networking stack as part of the team — from initial setup through scaling to high player concurrency, including room management, server-side logic, and load distribution

Collaborate on hard concurrency problems: race conditions, shared state under load, tick-rate optimisation, and latency compensation

Contribute to secure server-side systems — anti-cheat foundations, input validation, DDoS resilience, and secure client-server communication

Help build and maintain the player data backend — profiles, progression, inventory, leaderboards, and persistent state — with a strong focus on consistency, availability, and security

Work with the team to design for scale: help ensure both the Photon layer and player data systems hold up under concurrent load spikes without data loss or race conditions

Collaborate with Unity/Quest client engineers to define clean client-server contracts

What We're Looking For

Must-haves:

1–3 years of backend engineering experience, with some exposure to real-time or multiplayer systems

Strong fundamentals in concurrent programming — you understand threading models, locking, lock-free data structures, and where each applies

Some hands-on experience with Photon Fusion or similar, and a strong willingness to go deep with the team

Solid working knowledge in C#, Node.js, or Python — you're not religious about the language, you pick the right tool

Growing understanding of game server security: preventing cheating, validating game state server-side, and securing exposed endpoints

Some exposure to building player data systems — persistent state, progression, inventory, or similar — with attention to consistency and concurrent write handling

Nice-to-haves:

Experience shipping a multiplayer game title (any platform)

Familiarity with Meta Quest platform services (Multiplayer, Presence, OVR SDK)

Knowledge of cloud game server orchestration (PlayFab, Agones, Nakama,etc)

Experience with performance profiling and network optimization for real-time games
