Kabam, formerly known as Watercooler Inc., is looking for a Back-end Developer to join our social gaming startup. We are 70-strong, well-funded (backed by a top VC and a prominent UK gaming company), profitable and offer a competitive salary, equity participation and benefits.
Kabam got its start building TV and sports fan community sites, and we recently turned our attention to creating innovative, engaging social games. Our first title, Kingdoms of Camelot, has garnered top ratings and a strong (and growing) following on Facebook.
Note: We're growing but in a controlled fashion. We believe in small teams working collaboratively to build great products. And we're extremely selective, with an emphasis on smarts, attitude and ethics. If you are looking to make an impact on (and share in) the success of our business, work with a great team, and have a little fun in the process, please send us your information. We'd like to meet you.
WHAT YOU'LL DO:
The Back-end Developer will be responsible for the design, implementation, and ownership of many features across our web properties. You'll build games and features, release them frequently (weekly), and see millions use them. Responsibilities include:
* Design and code new features and enhancements across all our product offerings
* Participate in all aspects of a project life-cycle, from specifications through QA
* Collaborate on finding and fixing bugs and scalability/optimization issues
* Help automate, maintain and enhance our internal reporting and administration tools
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:
We're looking for someone with a strong foundation in computer science who consistently comes up with creative solutions and new ideas.
* Strong programming skills (PHP knowledge is a plus)
* Strong MySQL and database design skills
* Experience working for either social gaming OR internet B2C companies (nice but not necessary)
* B.S. in Computer Science or related field from a top tier university (or equivalent experience)
* Excellent problem solving skills
* Driven and self-motivated, a self-starter who can work without needing direct supervision
* Working knowledge of front-end technologies (Javascript, CSS)
* Strong familiarity with Web 2.0 / Social Networking websites.
