I'm the founder of Normcore.io, an autoscaling game server hosting service and Unity plugin that includes all of the pieces you need to create a multiplayer game. We launched a few years ago and have hosted over 1 billion multiplayer games since launch. I'm actively scaling the team to keep up with demand for new features that our customers are asking us for.
We’re all ex-Unity/Google folks working on making great SDKs and tools for multiplayer game development. We also make our own VR titles that are built on top of our own networking tech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djsPTbs7R_w
Reasons you’d love working with us:
* Work with a small, focused, and extremely talented team of developers.
* Fully remote job with flexible working hours and vacation (Our whole team is remote too)
* High-quality codebase, code reviews, tests.
* High work satisfaction, own entire features, and work on an SDK that’s already used by 100,000+ developers.

I love this concept. We have singular apps deployed across multiple clusters. I’m curious if this supports tracking one app that is spread across a few clusters. It’s always a pain for us to quickly see if all clusters are running the latest version. I see multiple clusters in some of the screenshots so I’ve got my fingers crossed.

I'm looking to hire a Head of Strategic Finance. We're looking for someone to model our revenue streams, create financial projections for the company, and help design the monetization strategy for our titles. We make heavy use of Claude for Excel and Claude Code to create tools to track popular titles, store charts, basically any data we can use to understand the gaming market. We then use that data to determine the direction for the company.

Back when I would ask ChatGPT to write code, I would agree with you, but using Claude Code's planning mode is a night and day difference. You write out a list of specs, Claude writes up a plan (that for writing backend APIs has always been just about perfect for me if my spec is solid), and then Claude executes that plan to almost perfection, with small nudges along the way.
If you're doing anything UI-based, it hasn't performed well for me, but for certain areas of software development, it's been an absolute dream.

100% this. I've had more fun using Claude Code because I get to spend more of my time doing the fun parts (design, architecture, problem solving, etc) and less time spent typing, fixing small compilation errors, looking up API docs to figure out that query parameters use camelcase instead of underscores.
