Senior Backend Engineer
Fenris Creations is looking for a talented and passionate Senior Backend Engineer to join our team in London building EVE Vanguard.
We are a tight-knit team creating a new perspective into the rich universe of EVE Online using Unreal Engine 5. We want someone who enjoys working with both technical and non-technical colleagues, has a drive for excellence, and is proactive in seeking out and finding ways to support others.
You’ll be joining an established team responsible for a variety of services - so the ability to learn and get up to speed quickly is key. Once live, you’ll be required to join our compensated on-call rota to support the game. Our backend is run on AWS infrastructure and built using Golang following Domain Driven Design and Event Driven Architecture principles.
Direct experience with these technologies and methodologies is desirable, but a strong foundation in programming, problem solving, networking, and software design comes foremost.
