Overview
Mobile Gaming Infrastructure Developer
Bionic Panda Games is looking for someone to design and implement a proprietary cloud services infrastructure for its Android mobile games. A successful candidate will have built server-side infrastructure for high-volume web or mobile applications in the past. This person must be intimately knowledgeable about (and more importantly know when to use) RDMS, message queues, and in-memory caches. Experience with payment systems integration is a huge plus. Oh, and you should really like open-source stuff.
