Description
Kappboom is a leading mobile social games company that is well funded and profitable. At Kappboom, we develop fun games and applications that are good for you. We strongly believe that games should not "waste your time", but should instead offer you real value in real life.
We're looking for folks who are passionate to make a difference in people's lives. We prefer folks who are efficient, who get things done, and are out of the box thinkers who don't say "it can't be done."
* Seeking SF Bay Area local candidates
Requirements
At Kappboom, we deploy onto VPS instances and use AWS S3 and EC2. Our production server applications run Ruby/Rails 3.X+, and some experimental server apps are on edge-Rails 4.0.0. Server architecture and scalability are important to us especially since we serve 10+ Billion requests monthly. That's over 333 million requests daily. We optimize our SQL queries heavily, intensely employ Memcached/Redis for backend caching, Squid/Varnish for frontend caching, and also utilize CDNs (Content Delivery Networks). Our machines run with Apache/Nginx for HTTP/HTTPS, and Passenger/Unicorn. Our server engineers are expected to have a deep understanding of relational and non-relational databases such as MySQL/Sqlite and MongoDB. We deploy using Capistrano, and have dabbled with Chef. Our mobile apps and games interface directly with our server clusters, so it's a plus if you have experience with RESTful APIs, JSON/XML message exchanges between client and server, or have some experience with mobile games/application development. Another plus is some RailsAdmin or ActiveScaffold experience.
That's about it! If interested, please Apply via email to jobs-at-kappboom-dot-com!
