Fullstack Developer (Python+React)

About the company

Playrix is one of the most successful mobile game development companies, ranking among the top 3 mobile game developers in the world. Our games have been installed 2.3 billion times (one-third of the world’s population), and more than 30 million people play them every day!

Team, about the role

Playrix is a global team of 1,500+ employees across 42 countries. To ensure smooth and efficient operations, we’ve built an internal ecosystem of 10+ services, including a multifunctional employee portal, digital accounting system, HR analytics platform, merchandise store, and even our own streaming service.

We are looking for a Fullstack Developer to optimize existing solutions and implement several new ones. This role offers the opportunity to work with both in-house developed tools and top market solutions. You’ll be actively involved in architectural decisions and have the ability to influence both the technical and product development of our internal systems.

Tasks

1. Automation around company-wide tools. Asana, Slack, Jira, Git and others come with a large layer of in-house extensions and integrations that make everyday work better. You'll develop and maintain these, and help consolidate them into one coherent system rather than a pile of scripts.

2. Our own in-house products. Internal systems such as the employee portal and payroll/compensation tooling, plus newer products like our candidate hiring portal — for example, video transcription pipelines and candidate scoring. You'll evolve and support these end to end.

Split is roughly 70% backend / 30% frontend — many of the tools have no UI at all, and most of the heavy logic lives on the backend.

Requirements

• 3+ years hands-on Python development experience and understanding of the modern backend stack
• Hands-on React development experience and understanding of the modern frontend stack
• Experience developing for Kubernetes and working with cloud vendors (AWS preferred)
• Active use of AI tools in development and understanding of AI SDLC approaches

Our stack

Python 3+, React, AWS, FastAPI, Django, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker.

We offer

• The opportunity for continuous development in a team of 500+ professional engineers: we have a huge knowledge base and a mentoring system that allows you to adapt quickly.

• Ability to move between areas and not only within development (Project Management, marketing, etc.).

• Tasks that require you to make safe and effective architectural decisions as well as opportunities to apply interesting programming approaches.

• An emphasis on developing each specialist's product ideas Time to play the games that you're developing, so you can envision how this or that feature will work for the user.

• The ability to switch out processes and approaches for more efficient ones without lengthy approvals or bureaucracy.
