Your creative field

At GPORTAL, our vision is to provide individual and easy-to-use online gaming experiences to the world. We believe in offering more than just servers like any other hosting company. For over 20 years, we have been bringing virtual worlds into everyone's home with just a few clicks. Our mission is to enable experts and beginners alike to play their favourite games together with their friends. From Palword and Enshrouded to Minecraft and Battlefield, we provide a wide variety of around 100 different multiplayer games from all genres.


We are looking for a full-time, permanent (Backend) Software Developer (all genders) for GPORTAL to start on 01.09.2025. We live remote-first, but you have the freedom to choose whether you want to work hybrid or completely on-site due to your proximity to one of our locations.

Are you passionate about gaming and curious about what happens behind the scenes of multiplayer experiences? At GPORTAL, we combine our love for games with deep tech – building the backbone for some of the most reliable game server hosting solutions on the market.

If you are someone who’s excited to dive into complex systems, contribute to meaningful improvements and help bring new features and game integrations to life. Our domain is highly specialized and influenced by a wide range of technical factors – it’s challenging, diverse and never boring.

You'll also design and implement our own APIs where needed. Writing clean, reliable tests is a natural part of your development process. A big part of your work will also involve integrating new games into our portfolio – helping expand our offerings and improve the gaming experience for users around the world.

You’ll be working on evolving our core software, taking part in long-term migrations from legacy projects while actively shaping the future of our platform. As part of a collaborative, tech-driven team, you’ll have the freedom to explore and contribute – without the need for external communication. What matters here is code quality, thoughtful solutions, and your ability to work well with your teammates. We’re moving fast, but always with purpose.
