Senior Full-Stack Engineer

Are you an experienced Senior Full-Stack Platform Engineer who thrives on building clean, maintainable systems without unnecessary complexity?

This is an opportunity to join a team developing cutting-edge real-time physics technology and delivering high-quality tools and services for players, creators, and developers. You’ll take ownership of backend services, user-facing interfaces, authentication systems, delivery pipelines, and modular platform features that support a growing ecosystem.

What you'll be doing:

• Designing and maintaining reliable backend services using Python, FastAPI, and modern tooling.
• Developing intuitive user-facing dashboards and interfaces with Vue 3 and component-driven architecture.
• Building and scaling systems for software delivery, authentication, user management, mod distribution, and related services.
• Managing data persistence using PostgreSQL and lightweight object storage solutions.
• Integrating secure workflows with third-party payment providers.
• Creating and maintaining well-structured RESTful APIs and ensuring smooth service integration across internal teams.
• Deploying and operating lightweight, Docker-based setups (no Kubernetes, no heavy cloud infrastructure).
• Building CI/CD pipelines and automated tests, including leveraging AI-assisted development tools.
• Monitoring system performance, scalability, and reliability using simple, maintainable techniques.
• Producing clear architectural documentation, technical notes, and internal guidelines.
• Supporting the evolution of the mod repository to empower creators with tools for sharing, validating, and managing content.

What we're looking for:

• 5+ years of professional experience in backend or full-stack engineering.
• Ability to design, build, and deliver systems end-to-end with autonomy.
• Strong experience with Python, FastAPI, and modern REST API development.
• Solid proficiency with Vue 3, reusable components, and front-end tooling.
• Comfortable working with AI-assisted development (e.g., Cursor, automated tests, code generation).
• Experience deploying and maintaining lightweight Docker-based systems in simple hosting environments.
• Strong Linux system administration skills (Bash, Nginx, hardening, server setup).
• Familiarity with monitoring/logging tooling such as Grafana, Prometheus, or ELK.
• Strong understanding of distributed systems, networking fundamentals, and API design.
• Excellent communication skills in English.
• A mindset focused on simplicity, maintainability, and long-term clarity.
