Madbox is a fast-growing mobile gaming company with a very unique way of developing games. Everything has been made for teams to take as much ownership as possible, unleash their creativity, bring performance, and have as much fun as possible.

In July 2022, we launched our Pocket Champs game worldwide which quickly became one of the top-grossing games in its category.

The game has been scaling a lot since the launch and is now supporting millions of monthly users. All these players are interactive with backend systems that we have developed internally and deployed based on our internal knowledge.

But the stakes are getting high and we cannot afford to have incidents on these services because it could damage the players experience. We are now looking for someone that has some expertise on deploying online applications that will be consumed by millions of players and would hold on under a heavy load.
