About Supercell

Supercell is a mobile game developer based in Helsinki, Finland, with offices in San Francisco, Seoul and Shanghai. Since our launch in 2010, we've brought five games to the global market – Brawl Stars, Clash Royale, Boom Beach, Clash of Clans and Hay Day. Our goal is to make the best games – games that are played by as many people as possible, enjoyed for years and remembered forever.

If you love to think, talk, play and make games, Supercell is the place for you. We’ve built a company of proactive, independent teams with the freedom to do what they think is best for their players, our games and the company at large. When it comes to making the best possible games, we believe in the power of small.

If you love games and are passionate about playing and crafting them, and you’re looking for a job that provides you ownership and independence, you’re in the right place.

Supercell is made up of individuals from over 30 different countries. We believe in transparency, trust and the power of spending time with one another. It doesn’t matter which of our five offices you call home, Supercell culture and values are shared globally.

Position

If you have experience of developing live systems and using virtualized computing, and you understand what it means to support a system with large user volumes, in addition to being interested and excited about working in these areas - you might just be the person Supercell is looking for!

Responsibilities

  • Design, implementation, deployment and maintenance of highly-scalable and available backends for live games
  • Contribute to best-practices on reliability and availability
  • Troubleshoot and tune high-volume sharded database systems
  • Periodically offer round-the-clock first-line support of the production environments, as part of a rotating on-call duty
  • Game teams are typically small, and server engineers will contribute to game design discussions

Your qualification

  • Enthusiasm towards games in general
  • Excellent Java programming skills – minimum of 5 years experience with server-side Java, concurrency handling, and distributed systems
  • Good experience with Linux shell and scripting languages
  • Database design and implementation skills, and good SQL knowledge

  • An open and respectful attitude towards others and their work
  • Fluent in both English and Chinese

Will be a plus
