We'll never ask you to abandon your craft and just focus on managing others or workload. At Gram everyone is expected to have a razor-sharp focus on what creates tangible impact: impact on their team, impact on their work environment and impact on the overall company strategy.
As a Backend Developer at Gram Games, you'll jump onto one of our largest projects and put yourself right in the center of the action. The successful candidate will work with the game team to implement new backend features as well as maintaining the current online features. Ideally you will have a high level of game server experience and would have worked on high traffic and high available systems
