Original posting

Senior Java Developer | InnoGames https://www.innogames.com | Hamburg, Germany | Full Time | Onsite InnoGames, based in Hamburg, is one of the leading developers and publishers of online games with more than 200 million registered players around the world. Currently, more than 400 people from 30 nations are working in the Hamburg-based headquarters. Your mission: - Develop features shared across our game backends - Improve performance-critical components, increase the robustness and scalability of our software - Improve our libraries and backend services with your knowledge of software architecture and high-quality code - Maintain and extend our development tools and environment Your Profile: - Several years of experience in object-oriented programming in Java with Spring Boot and the Akka framework - Software development with Spring, the UNIX command line and profound knowledge of SQL, GIT, and Continuous Delivery - Solid experience in using various methods in software design and strong belief in automated testing to guarantee and improve code quality in compliance with the company standards - Being a backend geek, you also sometimes like to switch to the frontend side with Angular, C# and Unity - Good English language and overall communication skills - Proactive and motivated individual with a willingness to learn Personal note: I as a software developer myself was initially rather critical about taking a position at a gaming company due to stories of crunch time and low pay, but my experience has been very positive in both regards at InnoGames: Crunch time does not really apply to a mobile gaming company (very few hard deadlines), and especially not to our team, as it is not a game team; and I was offered a better compensation package than what I had initially asked for. The workflow and processes in the team are driven by ourselves, and the two worlds of the job between creating and maintaining software on one side and providing support to game teams on the other are challenging in a very positive way and provide a lot of variety. We have several open tech positions but this one is directly in my team so feel free to shoot me any questions about the position at dennis dot neufeld at innogames dot com Link: http://app.jobvite.com/m?3LZ4zkwc Other open positions: https://www.innogames.com/career/
