Backend Engineer, PHP

ABOUT ENEBA

At Eneba, we’re building the technology and products shaping the future of gaming.

Our core is a global digital gaming marketplace used by 20M+ customers, with 100,000+ digital items and a platform built to operate at massive scale. Behind it is a complex technology ecosystem spanning 100+ microservices, distributed systems, internal platforms, and tooling that helps our teams build and ship faster.

And we’re not stopping at the marketplace. We’re building new products like Snakzy, AI game coaches, and more, exploring new ways for players to discover, buy, and experience games.

We’re proud of how far we’ve come in such a short time - and there’s a lot more to build. Join us as we scale and build the next generation of products for the gaming community.

ABOUT YOUR TEAM

You’ll join a cross-functional team of 5–10 people spanning design, backend, frontend, mobile, and data, supported by a dedicated platform engineering team. We move fast, experiment often, and build for a growing community of active users.

As an engineer, you’ll do more than ship features - you’ll help shape how the team works and the technology we build. With strong infrastructure, a modern codebase, and hundreds of microservices, you’ll tackle real challenges in scale, performance, reliability, trust, and safety while having the ownership to make a real technical impact.
