Senior Scala Developer
Reality Games is a product company divided into two sectors: Mobile Gaming and Big Data. We are one of the first movers on the market - creating a new genre of mobile games – games based on Big Data as content.
We have launched our prototype that managed to get global traction of 7 mln players, and helped us to build a team of 40 people.We have 3 projects in advanced development (alpha & beta). We have bought out our investors last year, and we keep growing on organically generated revenue.

You will be part of our Game Engine backend team. The team designs and implements game services, some of which can be reusable for many games. It means these have to be particularly well designed and efficiently implemented.
We believe scrum is a waste of time. We are disciplined and productive with no managers. Together with game designers and product owners we set priorities and decide about new features. Obviously it also means we are free to make technology choices. As long as it does the job.
Right now most of our services are implemented in Scala with akka-http and run on experimental version of lambda runner or as docker containers. We have various datastores with arangodb playing the main role. As eventbus we use kafka.
