Job description

We're looking for a strong Senior 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.

Requirements

Do you have experience in UI?, What you bring

  • 4+ years of frontend development experience, including at least 2 years 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 Vue 3 or other modern UI frameworks;
  • Experience building or improving internal tools or frameworks for dev team;
  • 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

Benefits & conditions

Pulled from the full job description

  • Work from home
  • Flexible schedule, * 21 vacation days + 5 extra day-offs annually;

  • 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.
