You should be excited by the prospect of owning a large part of our engineering system, and continuously looking for more responsibility to take on.

Being a backend engineer at Triumph is both demanding and rewarding, and your scope will cover (but not be limited to):

Above all, we hire people for their slope, who are willing to match the pace and energy of the growth curve of the company. While we ask a lot, we regularly double down on our top people.

WHAT YOU'LL WORK ON (ARCADE)

Triumph Arcade is a mobile platform where players compete in skill-based games for cash and prizes: async tournaments, real-time 1v1 matches, streaks, leagues and daily challenges. Triumph earns a service fee on each competition.

The backend decides who plays whom, scores every game, pays out winners and keeps play fair, across millions of games a week. You will work on:

- Game modes and tournaments. Build and evolve async tournaments, blitz, streaks, leagues, challenges and new formats to engage in skill based games.

- Matchmaking. Pair players by skill so matches are fast and fair, even in small pools.

- Real-time multiplayer. Own live matches end to end: spin up game servers, connect players with low latency, and settle results.

- Rewards and offers. Build the personalization engine that gives each player the right reward or offer at the right time.

- Integrity. Work with fraud and payments to detect collusion, score tampering and multi-accounting.

- Scalability. Build and improve backend scalability to support the next 10x of growth.

QUALIFICATIONS

- 3+ years of experience as a backend engineer (Go is nice)

- Experience with storage systems (e.g., databases, object stores, or distributed file systems)

- Strong collaboration skills and the ability to work across work streams within your team and contribute to your peers' success

- A strong personal slope and desire to grow one's career

WHY TRIUMPH?

- High growth. Build a high-scale consumer platform that touches gaming, finance, and social with the autonomy to set our web direction.

Why it works

3×

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.
