About CoolGames

Founded in 2010, CoolGames is a leading web games studio based in the historic center of Amsterdam developing high-quality casual games. 

Games distribution via new platforms, beyond the traditional app-stores, is taking off quickly. Players can now instantly start a game from within Facebook, Discord, Netflix and many other ‘Big Tech’ game channels. And even the web is back as a seizable games distribution channel, with more people playing via websites each year.

In this changing landscape, where Apple and Google are no longer the sole destinations for casual gamers, CoolGames is successfully publishing high quality HTML5 games that are played by millions every month. For our studio, we have an ambitious roadmap to start the development of new game projects to further expand our portfolio for the years ahead.

Our services are mostly written in Golang, partially in Typescript/NodeJS and a small bit of Python. We have several self hosted services next to our game backend systems. 

This includes setting up new infrastructure (infrastructure as code), maintaining pipelines and deployment of existing games, as well as contributing to the maintenance and development of internal tooling related to AWS deployments and infrastructure. 

You manage your own schedule to meet established deadlines. At CoolGames there is a high degree of autonomy with a strong focus on collaboration. 

The team’s responsibilities include supporting, optimizing and creating backend functionality for our games. Taking part in code reviews and technical design proposals and processes. Making sure our infrastructure remains stable, performant, up to date and monitorable.
