Backend Developer (20 hour / week) We current have an active prototype of our game in closed beta. However, this version relies heavily upon client-side processing, and much of the game should be moved to the cloud. This means working with the lead iOS developer to design a server-side game engine and create a seamless multiplayer experience for our players. In this position, you'd...
- Work with the iOS devs in moving the game engine to the cloud
- Architect socketed or long-polling communication
- Provide hooks for game designers to create A/B tests and mechanic tweaks
- Secure access to individual API endpoints based on user authentication
- Work with the iOS devs to connect the backend to the client iOS app
