We are looking for a Senior Full-Stack Game Engineer to join a small team building fast, competitive, browser-based multiplayer games. This role focuses on real-time gameplay, server-authoritative multiplayer logic, and rapid iteration on 2D/3D experiences using TypeScript and Node.js.

What You Will Work On

• Develop browser-native multiplayer games using TypeScript, Phaser/Pixi/WebGL
• Build and maintain real-time WebSocket systems for low-latency multiplayer
• Implement server-authoritative logic: state sync, prediction, reconciliation, tick loops
• Create and optimise gameplay loops, collision, physics, and game feel
• Build backend services in Node.js, including APIs, session logic, and internal tools
• Work closely with design to iterate quickly and improve responsiveness and fairness
• Implement anti-cheat and anti-collusion safeguards
• Contribute to deployments, monitoring, and stability for live multiplayer games

Strong experience with TypeScript and Node.js

• Understanding of real-time multiplayer behaviour and latency challenges
• Ability to architect and maintain WebSocket-driven systems
• Knowledge of rendering, animation, game loops, and optimisation in the browser
• Comfortable working full-stack: gameplay, backend logic, tools, and deployment
• Experience working in small, fast-paced, high-ownership environments

Nice to Have

• Experience with Solana or other Web3 integrations
• Familiarity with payments, wallets, or financial flows
• Background in competitive or skill-based games
• Experience with Docker, CI/CD, and multi-region deployment

Who Will Succeed Here

• You enjoy shipping fast, iterating on gameplay, and solving real-time technical challenges. You thrive in small teams, want meaningful ownership, and understand how to build fun, responsive, and fair multiplayer experiences.
