At IBM, Kafka isn't a buzzword on a slide, it's Tuesday, and we need a Game Developer who feels the same way. Put your 4 years of experience to work in a $114,000 - $155,000 role with ownership, mentorship, and room to grow.
Key Responsibilities
- Translate the sharp-but-gentle Kafka outage into fixes that make the next Santa Ana launch dull
- Champion engineering excellence and continuous learning within IBM
- Maintain and improve CI/CD infrastructure across CA engineering teams
- Reach into legacy Java modules and leave them cleaner than you found them
- Turn IBM's Tailwind CSS on-call noise into alerts that actually mean something
- Prototype rough Kafka ideas fast, then decide which earn a place in IBM's stack
- Sketch the Kafka architecture, defend it in review, then build the thing
What You'll Bring
- An appetite for ownership that scales with the stakes
- Practical Unit Testing skills sharpened in an internship setting
- Willingness to commute to Santa Ana, CA or work flexibly as needed
- Strong multitasking ability without sacrificing quality
- The reflex to surface risk before it surfaces itself
- Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities
- A portfolio or work samples that demonstrate your technology expertise
Since day one, IBM has been on a generously-mentoring mission to reshape technology from its base in Santa Ana, CA. The forever-learning pace here is real, but so is the permission to log off and recover.
You get $114,000 - $155,000, a growth runway, a mentor, full benefits, and a flexible Santa Ana, CA setup, no fine print, no catch.
Hiring is happening now, not last quarter, for this Game Developer seat.
Qualified candidates are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.
