"description": " Do you enjoy building backend systems in a live game where things move quickly and priorities can change from one day to the next? As a Senior Server Developer at Snowprint, you’ll work on the backend systems that power Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus. You’ll build new features, improve existing systems, and take ownership of parts of the infrastructure that keep the game running. With a live game, there is always something new to solve, and your work can go from idea to player-facing feature quickly.

You’ll join a small, experienced backend team where you’ll have a high level of responsibility and autonomy. One day you might be working on a new feature, the next on infrastructure, troubleshooting a live issue, or responding to a new requirement from the team. We work in an environment where things change regularly, so being able to adapt, make decisions, and keep moving is an important part of the role.

At Snowprint, we believe that kindness, curiosity, collaboration, and taking ownership are key to making great games. We care about the player experience and work closely across disciplines to build and improve our games.

What you’ll be doing You’ll develop backend features for Tacticus and take ownership of parts of the backend systems, from planning and technical design through development, testing, and live operations. You’ll work on new features as well as improving and evolving existing systems to support the needs of a growing live game.

A significant part of the role will be working with our cloud infrastructure. You’ll help own and improve our cloud environment, working with AWS and infrastructure-as-code to build, maintain, and evolve the systems running the game. You’ll collaborate with our security and compliance specialists and help keep our development and live environments running smoothly.

You’ll work closely with your fellow developers, designers, and other disciplines to shape technical solutions and solve problems as they arise. You’ll participate in playtests, investigate issues in both development and live environments, and take part in on-call work.

The pace can be high and priorities can change quickly. You’ll need to be comfortable moving between feature development, infrastructure, troubleshooting, and other technical challenges as the needs of the game evolve.

Is this you? You’re an experienced backend developer with a strong professional background in building and operating live services. Experience from gaming is highly relevant, particularly from live games or LiveOps environments.

You’re fluent in Java and/or Kotlin and comfortable designing and building robust backend systems. You know how to work in an environment where you need to make decisions, move quickly, and evolve existing systems as requirements change.

You have hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure , ideally AWS, and are comfortable owning and maintaining cloud environments using infrastructure-as-code.

You’re comfortable with the realities of live development , including troubleshooting production issues, participating in on-call work, and balancing immediate problems with longer-term improvements.

You’re self-directed and collaborative.

You communicate clearly, can explain the reasoning behind your technical decisions, and are comfortable working with people from different disciplines. You enjoy learning, solving new problems, and improving both the systems you work on and how the team works.

Where you’ll work Our Berlin studio is located in Mitte, with a hybrid working model. We work from the office on Tuesdays and Fridays to support collaboration and social interaction. Other days, you can work from wherever you feel most productive. We provide the setup and tools you need to work comfortably.

About Snowprint Studios Snowprint Studios believes great games are created by teams of talented, kind and creative individuals working together in a friendly, supportive and inspiring environment — while maintaining a sustainable life-work balance.

Our games include Legends of Solgard, Rivengard, and Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus. We care about making great games and creating an environment where people can do their best work together.
