• Ensure smooth frame rates, efficient memory use and high-performance gameplay
• Build and maintain math engines, RNG logic, pay tables
• Collaborate with designers, artists and backend engineers to bring concepts to life
• Contribute to UI using React, but the role is primarily game-engine focused
• Integrate frontend game logic with backend services (Go / Node.js)
• Own performance profiling, testing, and optimisation across devices

What You Need

• Strong background in game development (casino, casual, mobile, AAA, browser)
• Hands-on experience with Pixi.js, Phaser, Unity, Cocos2d or similar engines
• Deep knowledge of TypeScript/JavaScript for game logic
• Experience with:
  • Rendering loops, animation systems, sprites, WebGL/canvas
  • Game math, RNG accuracy & compliance
  • Real-time state management & deterministic logic
  • Performance optimisation (FPS, load times, memory)
• Strong fundamentals in algorithms, optimisation & gameplay architecture

Nice to Have

• Experience with Go or Node.js
• Exposure to AWS/GCP/Azure for scalable backend game services
• Docker/Kubernetes
• CI/CD and modern DevOps practices
