Responsibilities
Take validated prototypes from concept stage to production-ready games, refactoring exploratory code into maintainable, performant systems
Build and maintain shared game infrastructure — progression systems, save/load, analytics integration, platform APIs — that accelerates development across all titles
Adapt core systems to the unique requirements of each new game, balancing reusability with the flexibility to support diverse gameplay experiences
Collaborate with the Creative Engineer to establish clear technical handoff processes, ensuring promising prototypes have a smooth path to production
Leverage AI-assisted development tools to accelerate implementation while maintaining code quality and architectural coherence
Integrate with distribution platforms, ad networks, and third-party services to maximize reach and revenue across our portfolio

Hands-on experience with modern web game frameworks (Pixi.js, Phaser, Three.js) and a deep understanding of browser performance optimization
Fluency with AI-assisted development workflows — you use tools like Claude, Copilot, or similar to accelerate your work and are excited about where this is heading
A track record of building systems that scale across multiple products or projects, with an eye for the right level of abstraction
Experience integrating with platform APIs, analytics services, ad networks, or other third-party systems in a production context
