The mission of this role

We are building an AI Platform team, and you will join as one of its first engineers.

Our goal is to dramatically increase the leverage our engineering and product teams get from LLMs by building shared production infrastructure across the development lifecycle: secure access to models and tools, MCP infrastructure, knowledge and retrieval, agent execution, observability, evaluation and automation.

What you'll be doing:

• Build and operate core AI infrastructure: model access, provider abstraction, identity, credentials, quotas, fallback, usage and cost visibility.
• Build managed MCP infrastructure with tool-level access control, credentials, auditability and self-service onboarding.
• Design runtime and orchestration capabilities for production AI agents, from knowledge retrieval and log analysis to code execution and workflow automation.
• Build observability, evaluation and security guardrails for AI workloads.
• Work with engineering and product teams to turn high-impact AI use cases into reusable platform capabilities.
• Own systems end-to-end: architecture, implementation, infrastructure, deployment, observability and production support.

What we’re looking for:

• 5+ years of experience designing and delivering production backend, infrastructure or platform services.
• Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Strong system-level understanding: service and API design, distributed systems and data flows.
• Experience with cloud platforms such as GCP, AWS or Azure and container orchestration with Kubernetes.
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD, observability, reliability and production operations.
• Practical understanding of authentication, authorization, secrets management and secure service design.
• Ability to take ambiguous problems, make architectural trade-offs and deliver production solutions end-to-end.
• English and Russian language at least B2 level or higher.

Ways to stand out:

• Production experience with LLM applications, agentic systems or RAG.
• Experience with MCP, model gateways, LLM observability or evaluation frameworks.
• Experience with vector databases, semantic search or embeddings.
• Experience building internal developer platforms or self-service infrastructure.
• Hands-on experience with Python backend frameworks (such as FastAPI) and cloud-native infrastructure tooling such as Helm or Kubernetes operators

Why join Scorewarrior?

• A Great Place to Work. 99% employee satisfaction, low turnover, and colleagues who genuinely enjoy collaborating.
• Live and work in sunny Cyprus. We’re an office-first team in Limassol with a modern seaside workspace, and full relocation and visa support for you and your family.
• Shape a global hit. We’re the only European studio with a 4X strategy title in the world’s top-10. Our top-50 mobile game has grown 25x in revenue and audience in the last five years.
• Grow fast in a company that’s already strong. We’re independent, financially rock-solid, and expanding at startup speed, and we have never had lay-offs.
• Work where ideas win. Flat structure, collective decision-making, and honest feedback create full transparency and help you grow fast.
• Earn industry-leading rewards. High salaries, a 13th month, performance bonuses, and extra rewards for long service, marriage, or welcoming a child, and lunch every day.
• Feel supported at every stage of life. Private family health insurance, plus a monthly allowance for children’s pre-school, school, and university education.
• Your growth is our priority. From specialized training and certifications to language courses and books, you’ll have everything you need to keep learning.
