đ Your role & impact:
We are expanding our Core Team and seeking an experienced Senior Backend Engineer to join the talented engineers supporting our live game operations (LiveOps).
The Core team at Tactile is responsible for building our entire backend infrastructure - all the tools, platforms, and systems that power our game operations. As a Senior Backend Engineer within our Core team, you will work on our business-critical LiveOps dashboard, used by teams across the studio to evaluate and improve day-to-day operations. Youâll also build new features for our Game Web Services, which enhance player experiences, and contribute to our internal CI/CD solution, the Build Server, that supports game deployment.
Our platform is primarily built using TypeScript and Node.js, with MongoDB and BigQuery for data storage. React powers our client-side frontend. Strong experience with these or similar technologies is an excellent foundation for this role.
đThis role is based in our beautiful Copenhagen office, as we truly believe that when talented people work closely together, amazing things happen! We therefore offer full relocation support to those coming from outside of Denmark.
Okay, let's get more specific.
Here's what you'll be doing on the day-to-day:
Designing and developing new features that power and streamline our internal game development tools
Automating and scaling backend systems that support our live game operations
Evolving and maintaining our core platforms to ensure reliability, performance, and developer efficiency
Partnering with teams across the studio to evolve and improve our shared backend architecture
You'll be working with a modern stack:
TypeScript, Node.js, Express.js
GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, CircleCI
MongoDB, BigQuery
DataDog, Airflow
React.js
... and more! We do not expect you to know everything about this stack (we're not looking for unicorns). What matters most is that you enjoy working with and learning new technologies.
Practices & principles we care about:
Clean coding practices
Code reviews
OOP
SOLID & DRY principles
Test-driven development (TDD) & unit testing
Dependency Injection
What we're looking for:
Extensive experience (6+ years) in backend development with TypeScript and Node.js
Experience working with high-load systems
Strong understanding of RESTful services and web technologies
Experience with both document-oriented databases and SQL
Experience collaborating within a larger development team (4+ developers)
Bonus: interest in or experience with full-stack development
What's in it for you?
Itâs an exciting time to join Tactile. Weâre a diverse team of storytellers, puzzle enthusiasts, and casual mobile game creators. Founded in 2008 in the heart of Copenhagen, weâve grown into one of Denmarkâs largest gaming companies, scaling fast in recent years thanks to the success of our game Lilyâs Garden. Our mission is to create out-of-the-ordinary casual puzzle games enjoyed by millions worldwide.
With more than 350 talented individuals from over 55 nationalities (and 43% women), we value the richness of different experiences and perspectives.
