Zynga's software engineers don't just develop some of the world's largest games, they deliver highly scalable infrastructure used by tens of millions of users every day. Our software engineers are blazing trails in all facets of game design, mobile technologies, and massive scalability. Zynga faces a number of challenges - but many are unique to our situation: the large data requirements of online gaming require us to continually push boundaries to discover the best solutions. Zynga software engineers are willing to pick up any of the languages, technologies, or methodologies necessary to smite a challenge - and if a conventional solution doesn't exist, they innovate as necessary. Our software engineers are comfortable moving between front end, back end, and architecture roles.
Zynga's ML Engineering team applies cutting edge AI/ML to improve Zynga's games. We combine backend development, data engineering and data science. We develop production ML workflows with Spark, Python and Tensorflow. We also own high scale backend ML services written in Go. Our focus for AI is using Deep Reinforcement Learning to personalize our games, eg. using a player's history to decide what level to show next or how difficult to make a challenge. As industry leaders in the field, we've developed an open source library called RL Bakery and spoke at this year's Spark Summit. Our coops work on a variety of projects such as integrating new algorithms into our libraries, developing data pipelines, tuning AI models and adding features to our ML infrastructure.
