2 days ago
Vela Games is looking for an experienced Infrastructure & Backend Engineer to join our development team to help build our new multiplayer roguelite game: Evercore Heroes Ascension. This role focuses on both cloud infrastructure and backend development. The ideal candidate will combine strong infrastructure-as-code practices with robust backend development skills, particularly in AWS cloud services and Golang development.
At Vela we love games of every type, but we know that multiplayer, when done well, has a special ability to bring people together. Unforgettable moments are created through the power of playing together. It allows players to keep in touch with old friends regardless of distance, and to forge new friendships that will last lifetimes. Vela was created with these moments in mind, and our focus every day is thinking about how we can create impactful gaming experiences that inspire gamers around the world to play and win collectively.
We’re looking for someone who wants to be part of the core foundation of Vela Games; someone who is passionate about being part of a tight-knit team laser-focused on creating a game from the ground up. This person is a technical expert, who will not only help us implement code, but who will also have opportunities to contribute to design and architect our core (backend) systems. This person loves playing games as much as making games and appreciates the nuances of building software from a player perspective.
If this sounds like you, please apply, we would love to speak with you
