Senior Game Developer 

Kano (www.kanoapps.com) is looking for a seasoned game developer to help drive development on Mob Wars: La Cosa Nostra, one of our most successful games. 

We’re a small team where the code you write gets deployed fast. So, at Kano, you’ll be responsible for development, testing, and code quality.

If you’re a developer with an established background and the idea of working across creative, marketing, production, and live-ops teams sounds exciting, then we want to hear from you!

We offer flexible hours, an honest and able group of peers, the opportunity to take charge of the work that you do, and the chance to work in beautiful Victoria, BC.

Your background should include:

• Experience in a technical leadership role,
• 5+ years development with high-level languages,
• You have created applications serving thousands of people at a time with ease,
• Expertise with HTML5 and Javascript development
• Back-end or full stack development experience,
• Strong understanding of OO and modern software design principles,
• A strong desire to build something that people really want

It'd be a big plus if you have:

• Experience shipping social or mobile applications (iOS, Android, Facebook, etc),
• Experience with game optimization techniques,
• Experience with AWS,
• Working knowledge or experience with Unix/Linux,
• Continuous integration and automated testing experience.

About Kano

Bootstrapped in 2008, we have been a profitable and growing game studio for nearly a decade.

Locally owned and headquartered in downtown Victoria, BC, we believe in giving small teams of talented people challenging problems and getting out of their way. That’s why we look for the best and brightest to join our team; people who have talent, vision, and commitment.
