DevOps Engineer

Appcharge is the direct-to-consumer platform for mobile games.

We help game studios sell digital goods directly to their players - skipping the 30% store commissions from Apple and Google. That means more revenue for studios, and a closer connection to the players who love their games.

Appcharge powers web stores and in-app payments for over a third of the world’s top-grossing mobile titles. Backed by $89M from leading investors and publishers like Supercell and Playrix, we’ve grown 14x in the past year and now process over half a billion dollars annually.

We’re growing fast, building with intention, and helping the biggest names in gaming take back control of their business.

As a Senior DevOps Engineer you spearhead the transformation and scaling of our infrastructure.

If you are an engineer who is passionate about developing an innovative product, making an impact, and leading and shaping an entire domain in the company, Appcharge is where you want to be!

In your day-to-day you will collaborate with all teams in our R&D, and take part in analyzing challenges, bottlenecks and issues, designing, planning, driving key initiatives, building Appcharge infrastructure and mentoring the teams.
