Job Description:
Join King's Java Developer Talent Pool!
At King, we're always interested in connecting with talented Java Developers who enjoy solving complex engineering challenges at scale.
By joining our Talent Pool, you'll be considered for current and future opportunities across our engineering teams. If your background aligns with a role, a member of our Talent Acquisition team will get in touch to discuss it with you.
What we're typically looking for
Many of our Java engineering teams work on large-scale backend systems that support millions of players around the world. While every role is different, we often look for engineers with experience in:
- Strong Core Java development
- Concurrency and multithreading
- Building high-performance applications, distributed systems, or backend services
- Designing scalable, reliable, and maintainable software
- Working with high-traffic systems or products serving large user bases
- Writing clean, well-tested, production-quality code
While experience with frameworks such as Spring can certainly be useful, our teams generally place greater emphasis on a strong understanding of Core Java fundamentals rather than extensive reliance on framework-based development.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Many of our engineers have joined King from fintech, e-commerce, telecommunications, cloud infrastructure, SaaS, and other technology companies, though of course a gaming background is also highly valued. In short, if you've built complex backend systems at scale, we'd love to hear from you.
Why King?
At King, you'll have the opportunity to work on technology that reaches hundreds of millions of players worldwide. Our engineers solve challenging technical problems, collaborate with experienced teams, and build platforms and services that operate at massive scale.
Whether you're passionate about performance, distributed systems, backend architecture, developer tooling, or cloud technologies, King offers the opportunity to make a real impact.
