• Create smooth, mobile-friendly browser gameplay with engaging animations.
• Ensure game fairness and compliance through simulations and testing.
• Collaborate with product and design teams to align gameplay with user experience goals.
• Take the game from concept to launch, with a high level of ownership.

• Strong experience with JavaScript/TypeScript.
• Experience with PixiJS (or similar 2D rendering libraries).
• Experience with Svelte/SvelteKit or similar reactive frameworks.
• Solid Python skills for simulation or probabilistic logic.
• Understanding of state management patterns (XState or similar).
• A portfolio of games or interactive projects demonstrating your skills.

Nice to Have

• Animation and sprite sheet management experience.
• Familiarity with the sports betting or gaming industry.
