Software Engineering & Development

We're looking for a strong Middle Frontend Developer who can think beyond a single game, at the level of the entire product portfolio. Architectural decisions, reusable components, shared pipelines: what you build affects multiple projects at once.

We're a team of people who left safe jobs to build something better. No bureaucracy, no pointless meetings β€” just sharp minds building games that stand out.

🧩 What You'll Do

  • Build and ship slot games end-to-end β€” from initial prototype to production release.
  • Beyond game development, participate in shaping the frontend architecture and development standards across all projects β€” making technical decisions, reviewing code, and sharing expertise with the team.
  • Collaborate with Producers, Artists, and Backend Engineers to ensure seamless integration and optimized performance.
  • Contribute to code quality through reviews and shared standards, keeping our codebases scalable, maintainable, and reusable.
  • Contribute to the design and implementation of new features, UI components, and in-game effects.
  • Improve our core framework, build tools, and asset pipelines.
  • Profile performance and debug across platforms (desktop, mobile, WebGL) to keep games running smoothly everywhere.
  • Treat knowledge as a team asset β€” document your work and share what you learn with the team.
  • Stay curious about modern frontend technologies and trends in the iGaming ecosystem.

πŸ’Ž What You Bring

  • 3+ years of frontend development experience, including at least 1 year building HTML5 slot games β€” enough to have shipped multiple titles end-to-end and learned from real production cycles.
  • Strong expertise with Pixi.js and modern JavaScript / TypeScript.
  • Solid understanding of OOP, asynchronous programming, and rendering performance optimization.
  • Strong knowledge of Spine animations and deep understanding of asset management pipelines.
  • Experience with or proficiency in Codex and WordCode is required.
  • Fluency in English.

🧠 Nice to Have

  • Experience with game audio β€” Howler.js, Web Audio API, or similar.
  • Experience with build automation, CI/CD pipelines, or process optimization tools.
  • Familiarity with iGaming specifics: RNG logic, platform workflow, integrations.
  • Experience with GLSL/WebGL shaders for custom visual effects.
  • Experience with Vue 3 or other modern UI frameworks.

Benefits

  • 21 vacation days + 5 extra day-offs annually.
  • 12 paid sick days.
  • Fully remote format β€” work from anywhere you feel productive.
  • Flexible schedule: start your day anytime between 08:00–12:00 CET.
  • Fixed budget for health insurance and gym/fitness.
  • We provide all required work equipment.
  • Zero bureaucracy and direct communication with founders and C-level.
  • Minimal meetings, async-friendly workflow.
  • Startup energy: fast motion, creativity, and tight-knit communication.
  • Business trips and team meetups several times per year.
  • Multiple salary payout options (flexible formats).
  • …And many more perks unlocked after we hit break-even.
