OFFER
As a developer at Paf, you will work in a close-knit team with colleagues who share a passion for delivering top-quality products, enabling great gaming experiences for a global and diverse audience. 

Some of the benefits
Paf is different from other game companies on the market. They strive for a long-term sustainable business and care about their employees, customers, and society; All profit goes to charity. Responsible gaming is an important part of their business as they have a department solely working on preventing unhealthy habits, developing triggers, and creating user limits. And as an employer; nothing is more important than to make sure you have what you need to want to stay with them for the long term. 

What's in it for you?

• They offer flexible working hours to make your everyday life easier.
• They have generous terms regarding pensions, wellness, and free healthcare.
• They avoid overtime; You staying with them for 10 years is more important than short-term business goals.
• Permission to work abroad 3 months per year (pro tip: place it at the end + the beginning of a year and you’ll have 6 months)

• They adjust to where you want to work: 100% at the office, 100% remote work, or a mix where you’re at the office a few days a week. You will be given a desk, screens, and docking station for your home office and if you want to mix, you will be given a double set of equipment to have the same conditions at home and at the office. 

THE TEAMS 
The teams at Paf are in sizes from 5 to 15 depending on the department, with developers spread out in the country. What all teams have in common is that they consist of very talented and senior developers that have been in the company for an average of 10 years (most of them even longer than that). 

You will be involved in the entire development process, from requirement specification, creation of stories, estimations, development, testing, release, and maintenance. Over time you are expected to understand the platform well enough that you can recommend necessary changes in architecture and understand their long-term impact.

The team you will be joining maintains a standalone backend platform, meaning full responsibility in maintaining it, but also complete flexibility in all architectural decisions for the whole backend stack.

• Independence
• Accountability
