Job description

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 — just sharp minds building games that stand out.

🧩 What you’ll do

- Build and ship slot games end-to-end — from initial prototype to production release;

- Beyond game development, participate in shaping the frontend architecture and development standards across all projects — 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 — document your work and share what you learn with the team;

- Stay curious about modern frontend technologies and trends in the iGaming ecosystem.

💎 What you bring

- 3+ years of frontend development experience, including at least 1 year building HTML5 slot games — 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 — 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 + 2 extra day-offs annually;

- 12 paid sick days;

- Fully remote format - work from anywhere you feel productive;

- Flexible schedule: start your day anytime between 08:00-11:00 CET;

- Fixed budget for health insurance and gym/fitness;

- Provided 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.
