## Your mission

We are a worldwide gaming loyalty platform operator and publisher. Our purpose is to enable free-to-play mobile game players to get rewarded for their hobby. We launched JustPlay in the US in 2020, and now our product is one of the leading loyalty rewards apps in the world. Our team is based in 19+ countries and our headquarters is in Berlin, Germany.

We are looking for a Backend Engineer to join our engineering team. We seek someone who thrives in a dynamic, fast-paced environment, is always learning, and eager to make a meaningful impact on our product and users' experience. If you enjoy working with cutting-edge technology and building scalable, efficient backend systems, we’d love to hear from you!

* Stay ahead of technology trends, introducing best practices to improve development efficiency

## The experience we hope you bring to JustPlay

* You possess solid experience with SQL (MySQL) and database design
* You have hands-on experience with public cloud platforms (preferably GCP) and microservices architecture
* You excel in algorithmic thinking and problem-solving

## Nice to Have:

* You have experience with Kotlin (as JustPlay’s backend is written in Kotlin)
* You are familiar with tools like Google Guice, Gradle, Liquibase, gRPC, and Terraform

## Our benefits package:

* Work-Life Balance and Flexibility: Flexible working hours and options for digital nomads, occasional office visitors, or regular office-goers
* Employee Stock Options: Opportunity to join our Virtual Share Option Program (VSOP) and share in the success of an already profitable company
* Mental Health Support: Free personal coaching through our partner nilo.health to support our team members to live fulfilled lives at home and at work
* Training & Development: A competitive personal development budget of up to 2000€/year for training, conferences, workshops, etc., and free language courses with Chatterbug
* Germany-Based Benefits: 25 vacation days, free Gympass gold subscription, free monthly Deutschland-Ticket, and a monthly €50 tax-free internet contribution
* State-of-the-Art Equipment: Doesn’t matter if you are a MacBook or Windows user; we will provide you with the technical gear you need to succeed
* A Relocation Package: Includes visa support for those who need it
* Berlin Office Perks: Ergonomic setup, free daily lunch, and a dog-friendly environment.
* Engaging and Diverse Work Environment: Join a team of 25+ nationalities, working from 19+ countries around the world

## Why us?

* A spirited, inspiring, multicultural, and enthusiastic team
* An organization with a high level of trust and sense of belonging among employees, that prioritizes employee quality of life, job satisfaction and professional development
