About Spyke Games

We are a leading mobile gaming company founded by gaming veterans who have built and scaled massive gaming businesses for the past decade. 

We want to build the next generation of mobile game franchises to be played by millions of people around the globe for years. We are bringing together the smartest, the most talented and ‘fun to work with’ group of people united around this single mission. Fostered with team spirit and collaboration, we strive to create a passionate, energetic and eager to learn “geek” culture focused on games.

We are looking for a Software Engineer to join our engineering team in Istanbul. You will design and build the backend services that power our live games — working across distributed systems, high-concurrency APIs, and real-time data pipelines. Gaming experience is not required; what matters is that you have built production systems at scale and you know how to keep them running.

  • Design, build, and maintain high-traffic backend game services on AWS using Java and Spring Boot
  • Architect and evolve services handling real-time game state, player data, and live operations
  • Implement and optimize asynchronous messaging and event-driven systems
  • Ensure performance, reliability, and scalability of production systems under high concurrency
  • Conduct peer code reviews and contribute to architectural decisions
  • Monitor, debug, and resolve live production incidents to maintain system stability
  • Collaborate with product managers, game designers, and game developers in an agile environment
  • Job Requirements

  • 3+ years of backend engineering experience
  • Deep expertise in Java and Spring Boot
  • Proven experience building micro services and distributed systems
  • Hands-on experience with Apache Kafka or similar messaging platforms
  • Strong knowledge of relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL solutions
  • Experience with AWS
  • Familiarity with containerized environments: Docker, Kubernetes
  • Solid understanding of concurrency, network protocols, and system performance optimization
  • Strong grasp of software architecture, design patterns, and clean code principles
  • Comfortable reading and communicating in English in a technical context
  •  

    Nice to Have

  • Experience with high-traffic, low-latency systems (gaming, fintech, e-commerce, or similar)
  • Proficiency in a second backend language (Go, Rust, etc.)
  • Familiarity with monitoring and observability tools (Grafana, NewRelic, Datadog)

  • We respect your privacy and will treat your data confidential as part of the recruitment process. If you’d like more details, please read our Statement of Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK)
