🚀 What You’ll Do

The Zombie Gunship Survival team is on a mission — and we need a battle-hardened Full Stack Engineer to help us smash zombies and keep humanity safe. You’ll work on a live-operated mobile title played by millions, building new features, tools, and systems that keep the apocalypse exciting.

Your responsibilities:

• Build, maintain, and evolve features for a live product — from gameplay to backend integrations.
• Develop new gameplay systems, UI features, and tools that make both players and developers happy.
• Own your code: from concept to release, ensuring it’s robust, maintainable, and fun to work with.
• Collaborate with designers, artists, and producers to bring features to life.
• Research and implement new technologies and SDKs to keep the product at the cutting edge.
• Help us reduce tech debt and improve pipelines for future scalability.

🎯 What We’re Looking For:

You’re autonomous, creative, and deeply experienced in shipping mobile games. You know how to balance speed with quality, you thrive in fast-paced environments, and you love making things that actually work. You take full ownership of what you build, find solutions without drama, and take pride in clean, thoughtful engineering.

You have:

• 5+ years of professional experience with C++ and Scala
• At least two shipped mobile games (iOS/Android) under your belt
• Experience building client-server architectures and scalable live features
• A strong understanding of software architecture, pipelines, and project structure
• Bonus points for experience with:
• Objective-C, Python, JavaScript, HTML/CSS
• MongoDB, AWS, Jenkins, Bash, Fastlane
• A strong background in cross-platform development
• Agile mindset, excellent communication skills, and a get-it-done attitude
• A self-starter mentality — organized, motivated, and execution-focused
