Your role:

• Code features & systems across all aspects of our games & tools, with a focus on crafting wonderful experiences for players.
• Daily full-stack development in Typescript using VS Code, for 2D and 3D game development in WebGL engines such as PlayCanvas
• Collaborate within a cross-discipline team to design & build the best game possible
• Help other team members to problem solve & get the best out of the codebase

We’re looking for:

• Professional experience in a web or game programming role
• Demonstrable experience of full-stack programming
• Demonstrable experience of game development, either professional or hobbyist
• A strong desire to learn, and excitement to get your hands on new technologies and solve interesting problems
• A love of collaborating, with the empathy and confidence required to give and take constructive feedback

We’re distributed across locations, and highly collaborative using Slack text & video. We pride ourselves on our strong personal connections & community (which we put a lot of effort in to).

We work flexibly, but coordinate around Europe/Middle-East/Africa timezones.
