As a Backend Engineer in the anti-cheat team at Embark you will join us in our game making mission in the anti-cheat team's platform track. Focusing on building and operating the backend services supporting our efforts to enable fair and secure games for all our players.

You will serve as an essential member of this highly innovative team, collaboratively developing and enhancing the enjoyable and fair experience we aim to deliver to our players.

As our game is distributed between game client, game server and in the cloud, you'll work together with the team to figure out which parts of the problem to solve in each domain. At Embark we believe in creating smaller teams of well-aligned experts that can be trusted to create games and keep them running well.

Some of the technologies we use to make all of those things are Go, GCP, Bazel, Terraform, Kubernetes, Spanner, BigQuery, PromQL, LogQL and NextJS/React. As a backend engineer, your focus is to build services that not only work well, but also are easy to maintain, extend and deploy.
