Job Description

Founded in 2013, Voodoo is a tech company that creates mobile games and apps with a mission to entertain the world. Gathering 800 employees, 7 billion downloads, and over 200 million active users, Voodoo is the #3 mobile publisher worldwide in terms of downloads after Google and Meta. Our portfolio includes chart-topping games like Mob Control and Block Jam, alongside popular apps such as BeReal and Wizz.

Team

Our consumer apps teams are at the forefront of crafting innovative and engaging apps for daily enjoyment.
Our ambition extends beyond gaming to entertain a global audience. Millions of people around the world, especially in the US, download and use the apps we create.

You'll be working on Wizz, a social app specifically designed for teens, boasting over 3 million monthly active users in the US and UK. Wizz is a friend-finding and chat app where young people can safely express themselves and connect with like-minded peers in an authentic, pressure-free environment.

    Design, implement, deploy, and maintain highly-scalable and available backend systems.
    Define and promote best practices in reliability, observability, and infrastructure management.
