Overview
Kabam is looking for Back-end Developers to join our social gaming startup. We are well-funded (backed by a top VC and a prominent UK gaming company), profitable and offer a competitive salary, equity participation and benefits.
Kabam got its start building TV and sports fan community sites, and we recently turned our attention to creating innovative, engaging social games. Our first title, Kingdoms of Camelot, has garnered top ratings and a strong (and growing) following on Facebook.
Note: We're growing but in a controlled fashion. We believe in small teams working collaboratively to build great products. And we're extremely selective, with an emphasis on smarts, attitude and ethics. If you are looking to make an impact on (and share in) the success of our business, work with a great team, and have a little fun in the process, please send us your information. We'd like to meet you.
WHAT YOU'LL DO:
The Back-end Developer will be responsible for the design, implementation, and ownership of many features on our latest upcoming title. You will work closely with the product and engineering leadership to define, scope, and build features for a game that will be scaled to millions of users. Responsibilities include:
* Design and code new features and enhancements across all our product offerings
* Participate in all aspects of a project life-cycle, from specifications through QA
* Collaborate on finding and fixing bugs and scalability/optimization issues
* Help automate, maintain and enhance our internal reporting and administration tools
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:
The ideal candidate is a rock star engineer who will work closely with game designers to build out and improve the (PHP/MySQL) game engine of Kabam's next title. You lead by example and would be able to hit the ground running with a team of smart and capable back-end developers. Bonus points to those who are obsessed with developing clean, stable, well tested code, and continually look to improve the code quality of the entire team. We'd like to see:
* Strong programming skills (PHP knowledge is a must)
* Strong MySQL and database design skills
* Experience working for either social gaming OR internet B2C companies (nice but not necessary)
* B.S. in Computer Science or related field from a top tier university (or equivalent experience)
* Excellent problem solving skills
* Driven and self-motivated, a self-starter who can work without supervision
* Working knowledge of front-end technologies (Javascript, CSS)
* Strong familiarity with Web 2.0 / Social Networking websites.
* Experience with Agile/SCRUM development practices a plus
