Job Description:

King operates games at a massive scale, serving hundreds of millions of players around the world. Behind every player experience is a large ecosystem of services, data platforms, forecasting systems, and internal tools that help our teams make better decisions, move faster, and deliver exceptional experiences.

We are looking for a Developer (Python) to help design, build, and operate backend services, internal applications, and data-driven platforms that support critical business and product decisions across King. You will work on systems that process large volumes of data, run forecasting and analytical workloads, and provide reliable APIs and services consumed by teams across the company.

You will collaborate closely with software engineers, data scientists, analysts, product managers, and business stakeholders to build scalable solutions that transform complex data into actionable insights. This role combines backend engineering, distributed systems, cloud-native development, and data-intensive applications. While the primary focus of the role is backend engineering, you will also contribute to user-facing internal applications, helping deliver end-to-end solutions that enable teams across King to work more effectively.

An important part of the role will be integrating our platforms and tools with the broader King and Microsoft ecosystem, enabling seamless collaboration, authentication, data exchange, and workflow automation across multiple services and platforms.

King is a place where we build collaboratively and value diverse perspectives. We encourage experimentation, continuous learning, and ownership. You will have the opportunity to contribute to impactful projects, solve challenging technical problems, and work alongside experienced engineers in a supportive environment.

• Develop distributed processing pipelines and asynchronous workloads
• Design and optimize relational OLTP databases, data models, and query performance
• Build and maintain data processing, analytical, and forecasting workflows
• Design, develop, and maintain internal web applications when required
• Build intuitive interfaces and workflows that enable technical and non-technical users to interact with backend systems and business tools
• Integrate services with the King and Microsoft ecosystems, including identity, collaboration, communication, and productivity platforms
• Develop and maintain APIs and connectors that enable interoperability between internal and external systems
• Deploy, monitor, and operate containerized applications in cloud-native environments
• Contribute to technical designs, architectural discussions, and engineering best practices
• Improve system reliability, observability, performance, and operational excellence
• Deliver high-quality, well-tested, maintainable code
• Participate in code reviews and knowledge-sharing initiatives across teams
• Support CI/CD pipelines and automation practices throughout the software development lifecycle
