We aim to design long-term solutions that are flexible, scalable, secure, and yet only require minimal maintenance. An engineer able to build such systems should have extensive technical expertise, the ability to work independently, and the commitment to follow through on big ideas.

  • Background in designing, developing, operating, and maintaining production systems
  • Linux shell and scripting languages experience 
  • Strong cloud computing knowledge, preferably with AWS
  • Being passionate and committed to tasks, and in general, an autonomous person with high levels of initiative and energy
  • Ability to manage priorities and tight deadlines with incomplete data
  • An open and respectful attitude towards others and their work
  • Enthusiasm towards games in general (what are your favourite games?!)

Nice-to-have experience

  • Other languages such as NodeJS, Go and Kotlin
  • Previous working experience on high-throughput live systems is a big plus. If none, please be appreciative of the challenge
  • Web UI frameworks, such as React and AngularJS
  • Docker, Terraform and Kubernetes
  • Other cloud platforms and serverless systems

We develop Supercell as an employer for you to do your best work and to call this the best experience in your professional life. We want you to fully enjoy your time here, so we structure our compensation and benefits to serve this purpose. We start with perceiving you as a human being, not a resource. Read More
