We are currently looking for a passionate and experienced Backend Software Engineer with a strong focus on solving problems as well as finding the best solutions for our platform.
About Us
Once upon a time at Gameloft Studio, there was an island called Titan Platform. We are a team of ~15 people that work in mini-teams of 3-4. Each of these teams is specialized in a certain area with the final goal of ensuring the design, development and maintenance of a content distribution platform & many more interesting projects that we have ongoing.

The first thing you need to know is that, the team you’ll be working on cares about the work environment and growth opportunities as much as they do about the technical aspects. They guide themselves through the practices below:

- You will know ahead of time what are the features required, they will be discussed in the team and you will be able to take full ownership of your features & projects.

- Helping lead features/initiatives from idea to positive execution;
- Defining and implementing a set of rules & good practices that ensure the good health & growth of the platform;
- R&D, platform architecture & systems design.
The Titan team is cross-functional and this comes with various learning opportunities that allow you to try different types of activities (mobile development, web front-ends, big-data processing pipelines and administrative tools), thus sharpening your technical skills.
Here are some of technologies we use and we have expertise with:
- Languages: Java, Python, Groovy, JS, Typescript, PHP;
