Game Developer

Responsibilities:

• Develop, debug, and test advanced WebGL 2D/3D game features with PixiJS, including rendering, VFX/FX, animation systems, HUD, scene flow, and performance-critical loops.

• Build reusable systems, asset loaders, animation/tween tools, FX pipelines and implement reliable state management across game and application flows.

• Integrate APIs with robust validation, fault tolerance, and resilient error-handling strategies.

• Collaborate with Designer, QA, Project Lead, and other cross-functional teams to meet scope, quality, and timelines, driving alignment and resolving cross-team risks.

• Implement development standards, perform code reviews, mentor juniors, and unblock the team.

• Support the Tech Lead on architecture, assist the Project Manager on delivery plans, and collaborate with external teams as needed.

Core Requirements:

• 5+ years of professional JavaScript/TypeScript (ES6+) experience, including async patterns, observables, and reactive architectures.

• 3+ years shipping WebGL games at scale, including filters/shaders, batching/geometry optimizations, and render-performance tuning.

• Deep understanding of the game rendering lifecycle, including PixiJS/WebGL draw cycles, GPU batching, shader/texture pipelines, and performance constraints across devices.

• Strong Git practices and environment setup across dev/staging/prod; fully capable of running release trains, versioning, changelogs, asset/CDN caching, and post-release monitoring (logs, metrics, error tracking).

• Operates autonomously and leads cross-functional collaboration, consistently demonstrating strong ownership and proactive problem-solving.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Strong development principles (OOP, DRY, KISS, YAGNI, SOLID).

• Performance leadership in game development, including texture/atlas strategy, GPU efficient rendering, memory/leak detection, and managing frame budgets.

• Sharp attention to detail in game behavior, visual accuracy, timing, and UX interactions, ensuring features match design and animation intent.

• Proficient with API testing tools (Postman/Swagger) and capable of implementing resilient game API interactions, including retries, fallback handling, and robust error recovery.

• Strong applied math skills relevant to game development to build accurate movement, animations, and gameplay effects.

• Experienced in iterative game development workflows and able to adapt quickly to changing design or scope.

• Bachelors in CS/IT/Game Development or a strong track record of shipping production quality games.

Value-Added Skills:

• Expert proficiency in TypeScript (advanced typing, generics, scalable architecture).

• Experience creating HTML/CSS menus that integrates cleanly with WebGL/PixiJS games and sync reliably with game state.

• Experience with UI frameworks (React, Svelte) or hybrid mobile (Ionic, NativeScript) for game menus and shells.

• Strong understanding of game mechanics, pacing, and feature flow design.

• Advanced WebGL experience, custom GLSL shaders, post-processing effects.

• Experience optimizing WebGL memory usage (texture memory, garbage collection behavior, resource cleanup).

• Expertise with Spine or DragonBones, including complex rigging, blending, and event driven animation systems.

• Ability to define and maintain reliable game-focused testing approaches, including logic checks, interaction flows, and visual accuracy validation.

• Ensure high-quality, readable, and user-friendly HUD/menu implementations.

• Experience with Docker, CI/CD workflows, and monorepo setups (e.g., Nx), with the ability to define performance budgets or alerts.

• Experience with a modern game engine (Unity, Unreal, , Phaser 3).

• Skilled at using AI tools to prototype gameplay ideas and accelerate development workflows.
