Frontend Developer / Pixi.js

CyprusRemoteSenior

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

💎 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

  • 21 vacation days + 5 extra day-offs annually;

  • 12 paid sick days;

  • Fully remote format — work from anywhere you feel productive;

  • Flexible schedule: start your day anytime between 08:00–12:00 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.
