We love games and are inspired by entrepreneurs who create games. Therefore, we decided to build a family of successful development studios and relevant service providers in the field of free-to-play computer games via a targeted M&A strategy. Our central business unit, Spotlight, focuses solely on Data Science, Platform Engineering, Data Pipeline, Analytics and R&D.
We are a profitable, fast-growing group of companies with 200 people in eight offices all across Europe and various home/remote locations.
We are on an amazing growth journey and are looking for ambitious new colleagues.
If you are driven by impact and purpose and enjoy transparency as well as an environment of mutual respect, learning and achievement, we might just have the perfect challenge for you.
The Role
As part of our Publishing Platform team, you will develop and operate software responsible for the ingestion, collection, and processing of data generated by games from our portfolio. We work closely together with our Data Science team and provide integration for the Game Studios.
We use Java and operate on AWS in form of microservices and serverless applications. We are comfortable performing releases to production multiple times a day. We strongly believe the same team should develop and operate software to achieve the best results.
