Satoshis Games is hiring a

Web3 Senior Backend Engineer (Javascript)

About Us
Satoshis Games is an startup founded in 2018 with the goal of leading the application of decentralized technologies (mostly blockchain) to the gaming industry.

After developing the first gaming plataform with Bitcoin micropayments as a proof of concept in 2019 (https://play.satoshis.games), we began winning our first international hackathons and got our first funding rounds from US investors and crypto world celebrities to advance product development.

We've since developed Light Nite, a Battle Royale game featuring in-game cyrpto rewards and NFT skins. At the same time we began and launched Elixir, what we want to be the Steam of the crypto videogames. This product was again awarded with a Hackathon 1st prize and is focused on being the first platform with an SDK that allows micropayment and tokenization, to be able to support this new type of games that are currently banned from traditional game stores. We released an Alpha version in June '21 along with an NFT marketplace and more and more games will be onboarding in the near future.

We're currently developing our second game for mobile and desktop using Binance Smart Chain, and are ready to enter the decentralized finance (DeFi) scene with more exciting projects in the very near future.

3. Help our support teams by providing operational information, debugging corner cases, and enhance our logging and monitoring practices.

We're a small team and expect you to be able to wear many hats, take ownership and improve whatever you find needs to be improved. We use Agile methodologies without the dogma and are always open to hear / try about new tech you may bring to the table.

Needless to say, curiosity and a desire to keep learning and improving is a must in this industry.
