Senior Java Backend

Hamburg, Hamburg, Deutschland Goodgame Studios Vollzeit

We are transforming into an AI-first engineering organization. As a Senior Java Backend / DevOps Engineer, your role evolves from 'code producer' to technical architect and orchestrator. You will guide AI agents to design, test, and deploy our high-scale gaming systems. You remain the expert ensuring architectural integrity, but with 10-20× the traditional velocity. AI amplifies your impact - you control the output.

Your Job

  • Architect & Orchestrate: Build and own scalable Java microservices (AWS, K8s, Terraform, ArgoCD) end-to-end. You design the architecture; AI agents handle the heavy lifting of implementation.

  • Lead AI Agents: Act as the technical lead for AI models. You provide precise constraints and architectural context, then review and validate the code to ensure production-grade security and performance.

  • Accelerate DevOps: Leverage AI to automate CI/CD, generate tests, document systems, and identify bottlenecks in distributed environments much faster than traditional methods.

  • Modernize & Evolve: Use AI tools to continuously refactor legacy code and evolve platform services for our game teams.

  • Shape the Future: Help define our "AI-first" engineering processes and set the standard for how software is built across the entire company.

Your Profile

  • Engineering Core: 5+ years in Java backend development with deep expertise in distributed systems, high-load architectures, and the cloud-native stack (AWS, K8s, Docker).

  • Architectural Mindset: You don't just write code; you design clean, resilient, and scalable systems.

  • AI-Ready Communication: You possess strong analytical skills to decompose complex problems into precise instructions - directing both human teams and AI agents clearly.

  • Tooling & Spirit: Familiarity with AI coding tools (Claude, Cursor, Copilot) combined with the curiosity and adaptability to thrive in a radically accelerated environment.

Why Join Us

  • Global Impact: Work on backend systems serving millions of players worldwide, with real ownership and high autonomy.

  • Pioneer the Future: Don't just write code - shape how it's built. Join us in defining the industry standard for AI-first engineering.

  • Force Multiplier: Build faster, safer, and smarter. We value clarity and innovation; AI handles the manual repetition.

In this role, you'll join Goodgame Studios. Collaborate closely with our 30+ dedicated professionals, employ your initiative and strong communication skills to seamlessly integrate your ideas into our MMO pioneer games with more than 200 million registered players worldwide and a history of more than 1bn € in revenues. If you're ready to take on this challenge and thrive in a high-target environment, we want you on our team
