Personal note:
I as a software developer myself was initially rather critical about taking a position at a gaming company due to stories of crunch time and low pay, but my experience has been very positive in both regards at InnoGames: Crunch time does not really apply to a mobile gaming company (very few hard deadlines), and especially not to our team, as it is not a game team; and I was offered a better compensation package than what I had initially asked for. The workflow and processes in the team are driven by ourselves, and the two worlds of the job between creating and maintaining software on one side and providing support to game teams on the other are challenging in a very positive way and provide a lot of variety.
We have several open tech positions but this one is directly in my team so feel free to shoot me any questions about the position at dennis dot neufeld at innogames dot com
