About the role Are you ready to build the technical backbone that gets our games running reliably on some of the world's biggest platforms? In this role you work at the heart of the organization, where game teams, platform partners, and products come together. Using a lean, framework-free TypeScript codebase and our shared integration libraries, you help keep our games platform-agnostic while still building the platform-specific features that make each integration feel native. Things like notifications, badges, achievements, and save states. You contribute not only by shipping integrations, but by shaping the tools and abstractions the whole engineering team relies on. Together with the rest of the team, you will share technical ownership of the systems and processes that bring our games to new and existing platforms.

Extending and refining our platform abstraction libraries to support new platforms, SDK features, and deployment requirements. Integrating and maintaining third-party SDKs for services such as authentication, payments, analytics, advertising, and platform features. Bringing games to new platforms, from technical discovery and planning through implementation, debugging, launch, and ongoing support. Translating platform documentation and partner requirements into clear technical solutions and reusable capabilities. Coordinating with internal developers and external teams to align requirements, priorities, dependencies, and delivery timelines. Reviewing and improving code to ensure quality, consistency, and maintainability across integrations. Investigating complex integration issues methodically and resolving their root causes. Profiling game and integration performance and implementing improvements where needed. Keeping SDKs and integration-related components up to date, compliant, secure, and stable. Supporting cross-functional teams with technical expertise during planning, implementation, and rollout. Staying informed about relevant developments in platform integration, game publishing, and web technology. About you You like to troubleshoot technical problems and try to solve the root cause. You are proactive and used to taking ownership and responsibility. You see yourself as a good team player and are ready to take the lead on initiatives. Several years of professional software development experience. Games experience is a plus but not required, strong generalist engineers are welcome. Strong, hands-on TypeScript skills, comfortable working without a framework (no React/Vue/Angular crutch) and with a solid understanding of browsers and modern web fundamentals. Experience designing or maintaining reusable libraries and abstractions that are used by multiple products or teams. A methodical approach to debugging complex problems and resolving their root causes. Familiarity with performance profiling and techniques for optimizing browser-based applications or web games. The ability to use AI-assisted development to materially improve productivity without compromising quality. You understand, review, test, and remain accountable for generated output. Clear communication skills and the ability to align with product managers, game developers, and external platform partners. A proactive mindset and the ability to independently manage work, surface risks early, and keep stakeholders informed. An interest in casual games and the technology that gets them in front of players.
