About Savvology - There is a lot of luck involved in most of the mainstream real-money games (Poker, Fantasy, Ludo, Rummy) which makes it hard to win anything. We want to create pure skill-based strategy games (no luck factor), where you can control your outcome better. What’s more, more than 50% of the players win! We make use of Game Theory (the science of decision-making) to come up with games that are so simple that even a 5-year-old can play. Our vision is to encourage people to make better decisions through gamification.
Job Brief
We are looking for an experienced and self-driven Backend Developer to join our young team.

You have to minimize downtime, crashes, and other bugs and capture & store data correctly for further analytics. You will be working alongside a dynamic team of IITian founders, engineers, designers, and marketers, so there is a lot of scope for learning and growth.
We’re a young, passionate team looking to make a dent in the gaming space. We work hard, but we party harder (beer/pizza every Friday night). If you love challenges, playing games, and building innovative products from scratch, we’d like to meet you.
Responsibilities
- Build robust backend systems that do not break down.
- Write clean and reusable code for future use and ease of understanding
- Collaborate with front-end developers to integrate user-facing elements with server-side logic
- Give inputs on how to develop new features in the most cost and effort-economical way

- Website development. Should be well-versed in HTML / CSS / Javascript
- Ability to understand business requirements and translate them into technical requirements
Requirements
- Should be a team player and have a problem-solving attitude.
- Should show initiative and be opinionated. We don’t want a yes-man. [MUST]
- Computer Science or a relevant degree from a reputed university is a plus but NOT mandatory
- Brownie points if you’ve worked on / developed a mobile game before
