• PostgreSQL, Redis, and Google Spanner for scalable data storage.

• Conan, Docker, and Python tools to streamline development.

• GitLab CI, TeamCity, and Grafana for CI/CD and full observability.

• Freedom to introduce new approaches: codegen, observability tools, AI-based development accelerators — anything that truly boosts the speed and quality of delivering game features.

• An excellent remuneration package, including a 13th-month salary.
