Who We Are

Kings Isle Entertainment, established in 2005, is a proven MMO hit-maker with 50+ million registered users across both of our MMO games with vibrant and strong communities. Our award-winning game Wizard
101 is currently in its 17th year and Pirate
101 is in its 13th. We attribute our success to great people, and we recognize the value of every team member. We work hard and have fun, whether with lunchtime gaming sessions or office outings to the movies. The working environment, friendly teammates, and support for growing careers contribute to the long tenures many enjoy at Kings Isle.

The Kings Isle Web Team is a friendly and motivated group of builders, testers, and managers who put the quality of what we produce above all else. Experience taught us that high standards are better achieved through effective collaboration, knowledge duplication, and personal development. We make time for each team member to take courses and work on interest projects. The team reserves regular time slots to discuss successes and failures after each Sprint.

The senior members are encouraged and empowered to mentor so our junior members often experience tremendous growth. We build enterprise web applications with proven success serving millions, and our continued quest for improvement drives increasing sophistication in test automation, performance/security monitoring, and agile product delivery.

• Automate the mundane transform repetitive, error-prone tasks into reliable automation that accelerates development and reduces friction.
• Engineer for resilience anticipate and prevent failures before they happen by designing systems that heal, scale, and adapt under pressure.
• Own your craft end-to-end from architecture to deployment to continuous improvement, you ll shape infrastructure that teams can trust.
• Code the foundation use Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible, etc.) to define environments that are reproducible, auditable, and version controlled.
• Illuminate the unknowns build monitoring, logging, and alerting systems that surface insights early and empower teams to act fast.
• Containerize with purpose design and deploy containerized applications that are efficient, portable, and secure by design.
• Champion security and compliance integrate protection and auditability into every stage of the delivery pipeline, not as an afterthought.
• Collaborate deeply partner with developers, QA, operations, and product to align velocity with stability, innovation with reliability.
