  • Energetic, confident, and outspoken
  • Passionate about games and game development
  • Comfortable in fast-paced, sometimes high-pressure environments
  • Able to manage multiple projects without hand-holding

Required experience

  • 2-3 years professional experience as a Frontend / Game Developer (ideally 3)
  • Strong proficiency in:
