The Social Tech team is now seeking an experienced Senior Software Engineer to join us in Helsinki. In this role, you’ll be part of a close-knit development team building in-game social features used across Supercell games. You’ll take strong technical ownership of core parts of our social platform end-to-end, make key architectural decisions, and help shape the platform’s technical direction together with the team. Your main focus will be on developing and operating a performant, reliable, and highly scalable backend that powers social functionality for millions of players. Our backend is written in Java (with some Rust in performance-critical parts) and runs on AWS. You’ll also contribute to our client-side Social SDK as part of a cross-functional effort that spans multiple game teams and platforms. Because our work is embedded into multiple live games, collaborating well across teams is essential. You’ll work closely with game developers and other engineers to define requirements, design great APIs, and ship features from concept to production. You must be pragmatic, humble, and willing to share learnings (including mistakes) so we can keep improving together. If you enjoy building live systems, care about reliability at scale, and want to help shape social features that reach a massive audience, you might just be the person we’re looking for!
Job Responsibility:
Design, implementation, deployment and maintenance of highly scalable and available backend services for in-game social features
Develop and evolve APIs used by game teams, clarifying concepts, use cases and requirements together with stakeholders
Contribute to our Social SDK client that integrates into Supercell games across multiple platforms
Improve best practices around reliability, performance, and operability of our social services
Periodically offer round-the-clock, first-line support to production environments, as part of a rotating on-call duty
Requirements:
Strong backend engineering experience with Java and production services running at scale
Experience with AWS and cloud-native development practices
Proficiency with infrastructure as code tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation or CDK
Experience designing and integrating backend APIs and services using REST and/or gRPC
Familiarity with a range of database technologies, both non-relational (e.g. DynamoDB, Redis) and relational, and solid SQL fundamentals
Ability to collaborate across disciplines and teams, and communicate clearly with both engineers and non-engineers
Being passionate and committed to tasks, and in general an autonomous person with high levels of initiative and energy
An open and respectful attitude towards others and their work
Nice to have:
Experience in mobile development, especially building SDKs or shared libraries
Familiarity with Flutter and Dart
Experience with Rust, particularly in performance-critical systems
Background in CMake, graphics programming, or language runtimes
