Platform Engineer

We are a mobile game company, based in both Helsinki and Berlin, creating world-class entertainment by building a portfolio of hit games. Since our launch in 2020, our first chart-topping game Merge Mansion has been entertaining over 60 million players worldwide, and we have grown into a team of over 280.

Our mission is to entertain hundreds of millions of people for decades, with our games, and also through our creative marketing, community, and beyond – while having fun with it. 

We’re ordinary people crafting extraordinary games with passion and ambition. Our culture of trust, psychological safety and wellbeing empowers us to aim high, take ownership, and shape the future of mobile games together.

We’re looking for a Platform Engineer to build and evolve the infrastructure that powers our games. In this role, you’ll remove friction for our development teams by designing, building, and operating shared infrastructure and self-service tools. These tools make development faster, safer, and more consistent across teams, helping us ship features smoothly to millions of players.
