TL;DR
Senior Infrastructure Engineer (MMO): Designing and building distributed systems for EVE Online, a persistent AAA MMO simulation serving tens of thousands of concurrent players, with an accent on load partitioning, consistency, failure handling, and millisecond-scale latency. Focus on decomposing services, implementing replication and caching strategies, operating systems on cloud and Kubernetes, and validating designs through telemetry, load testing, and failure testing.

Location: On-site in Reykjavík, Iceland. A relocation package is available.

Company

hirify.global is an independent video game developer creating large-scale virtual worlds and online games, including EVE Online.

What you will do

  • Design and build distributed systems that partition and rebalance simulation load across nodes.
  • Maintain consistency during partial failures and design graceful degradation so isolated node failures affect limited regions.
  • Develop low-latency messaging and RPC paths with millisecond-level latency budgets.
  • Define service boundaries, interfaces, replication strategies, data stores, and caching approaches.
  • Implement systems from design review through production, while managing priorities, deadlines, and deliverables.
  • Instrument services, perform load and failure testing, and collaborate with product owners and game designers.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of professional software development experience with strong depth in distributed or concurrent systems.
  • Strong programming ability in at least one systems or backend language: Go, C++, Rust, Java, or Python.
  • Experience designing distributed systems, including APIs, consistency and coordination models, replication, partitioning, and graceful failure handling.
  • Understanding of concurrency, synchronization, complexity analysis, queueing behavior, CAP trade-offs, RPC, pub/sub, message queues, and event streaming.
  • Experience operating production services on cloud platforms such as AWS or Azure and on Kubernetes.
  • Ability to use tracing, metrics, structured logging, load testing, and failure testing to validate system behavior.

Nice to have

  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, computer engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Experience with infrastructure as code and automated delivery using Terraform, Packer, Ansible, or similar tools.
  • Networking and systems knowledge, including UNIX, TCP/IP, load balancing, and CDNs.

Culture & Benefits

  • Multicultural work environment focused on growth, creativity, innovation, and employee well-being.
  • Flexible work environment with a double workstation setup.
  • Regular company events and an on-site canteen with breakfast, lunch, drinks, and snacks.
  • Discretionary quarterly and annual performance sharing plan and an annual sports grant.
  • Mobile phone, mobile usage package, home internet, and a conditional monthly transportation grant.
  • On-site doctor, discounted on-site services, and a relocation package.
