Our Story

At Wooga, we are very proud of the diverse, creative and friendly environment we have established and we believe you will enjoy working with some of the best people in the industry. Each of our Woogas plays an important role in our success as a company and in shaping our culture. We really value our razor-sharp focus on story-driven casual games, excellent craftsmanship, truly collaborative way of working, and the values we strive to live up to every day. We create joyful experiences that awaken our players’ desire to see what happens next. Based in the heart of Berlin, with over 300 employees from around the world, we work together to create high-quality casual games with engaging stories at the core of the experience.

About the role

We are looking for someone with a strong engineering background who enjoys building high-quality products used by millions. As a backend engineer at Wooga, you'll enjoy autonomy in decision-making and ensure smooth system operations. Our team values diverse engineering backgrounds and supports individual learning styles. We prioritize fast learning, mutual support, and adaptability to changing requirements. With expertise in high traffic APIs, distributed systems, and cloud infrastructure: we serve tens of thousands of requests per second and make sure our game teams can count on us to build and run the services they need.

• Manage, extend and improve our infrastructure together with our infrastructure experts
• Work mainly with AWS, Kubernetes, and Terraform
• Support other backend engineers in working with our infrastructure
• Extend and maintain our CI/CD pipelines and dev tooling
• Ensure stability and resilience of our infrastructure services
• Take part in our team on-call rotation every few weeks (after an extensive onboarding period)

About you

• You have several years of experience as a backend engineer with focus on infrastructure, or worked in a cloud infrastructure / SRE / DevOps role
• You are a team player and value collaboration
• You are comfortable working with kubernetes and the cloud native ecosystem
• You know your way around complex infrastructure and know how to work with distributed systems
• You are not afraid to touch code. Our services are written mostly in Elixir but we don’t expect prior knowledge

Great if you know:

• AWS Services
• Kubernetes, Containers, Helm
• Networking
• Terraform
• GitOps, CI/CD, FluxCD, Flagger
• Observability tools (Datadog, OpenTelemetry)
• Security principles and tools
• Scripting languages, eg. bash
• Postgres, Redis, DynamoDB, Aerospike, Apache Kafka
• Elixir, Erlang, Ruby

Please note: Research has shown that some under-represented groups in the gaming industry (eg: women) tend to apply only if they meet every single requirement. Here at Wooga, the desire to learn and the willingness to solve problems are more important to us than your experience on paper. We encourage you to apply even if you do not think that you tick all the boxes - thinking outside of such boxes and embracing the diversity of mindsets and backgrounds is what we believe makes our teams thrive.
