The posting

Join our game development team in Malta as Senior Fullstack/ Backend Engineer - Node.js/Typescript!

At Twin Harbour Interactive we strive to develop high-quality strategy games and make them accessible for all players around the world. In our eyes game development is a promise for fun and entertainment – that’s what we live and aim for!

Innovation is part of our DNA. We actively integrate Artificial Intelligence to reduce repetitive tasks and create space for what really matters: strategic thinking and human connection. We don't just use AI - we look for people who can shape the way we work with it.

As a Senior Fullstack/Backend Engineer - Node.js/Typescript, you will be responsible for designing, building, and enhancing features for our game platform, focusing on applications used by our game teams as a service that are interfacing with other internal and external services. In the beginning, you will work on extracting loosely coupled microservices out of our monolithic PHP application. The services will be running on a distributed architecture in the Google Cloud. Your work will align with best practices in stability, performance, scalability, security, and maintainability.

In this role, you will collaborate closely with game designers, producers, and other stakeholders to create innovative services that enhance the player experience and enable internal stakeholders to work more efficiently.

Please submit your resume outlining your relevant experience and why you are interested in joining Twin Harbour Interactive. We look forward to hearing form you!

YOUR TASKS

  • You will mainly work on extracting loosely coupled microservices written in Node.js/TypeScript out of our PHP monolith. However, you need to be comfortable with working in other languages like PHP as well.
  • Take ownership for maintaining and extending some of the central shared services that are used by game teams and other stakeholders like game design and monetization.
  • Design, develop, test, deploy, maintain, and improve our software with high-quality, maintainable code.
  • Define SLOs, add metrics/tracing/logging, participate in on-call/incident reviews, and continuously harden reliability & performance for live operations.
  • Leverage AI tools and technologies to enhance development efficiency, code quality, and problem-solving capabilities.
  • Work closely with game designers and product leads to implement new features with an interest in learning the complementary full-stack technologies.
  • Communicate and collaborate within a cross-functional team and with other teams to ensure a smooth daily workflow.
  • Actively bring in new ideas and participate in technical decisions influencing the architecture of our services and platform.
  • Drive initiatives to enhance the stability, performance, and scalability of our platform and live games.
  • Contribute high-quality, maintainable Typescript code using a wide range of technologies such as Next.js, Nest.js, Jest, Mocha, Turbopack, GitHub, Docker, MySQL, Pub/Sub and Redis.
  • Mentor engineers via design reviews, pairing, and by setting coding standards and contribute to engineering hiring.

YOUR PROFILE

  • Proven experience in Node.js/Typescript development, demonstrating strong coding and debugging skills.
  • Proficiency in popular Node.js/Typescript frameworks such as Next.js, Nest.js, Express.js, and Jest.
  • Deep experience with distributed systems: queues/pub-sub, idempotency, data modeling across service boundaries, and eventual consistency.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to work effectively in a cross-functional team environment.
  • Demonstrated ability to effectively integrate AI tools into development workflows for code generation, debugging, and technical research.
  • Be familiar with or eager to learn other languages like PHP or Java.
  • You have a proactive attitude towards learning new technologies and improving existing skills, including leaving the comfort zone of your programming language.
  • You have experience developing and maintaining multi-server, high-load backend services and APIs.
  • Familiarity with SQL and NoSQL databases, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or similar.
  • Strong automated quality mindset using unit testing, integration testing, and other test automation frameworks.
  • You are enthusiastic about games and ideally strategy games.
  • Experience with cloud platforms (GCP preferred), networking, and debugging distributed systems is a plus.
  • Hands-on experience with agile methodologies such as Scrum or Kanban.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
