• Implement core mechanics (scoring, timing, streaks, rewards)
• Integrate with backend APIs (player data, leaderboards, progression)
• Support data-driven tuning (e.g. values controlled via JSON/config)
• Optimize performance across devices and environments
• Provide technical leadership on game systems and architecture

Qualifications

• +5 years of experience building interactive systems using web or mobile technologies (JavaScript/TypeScript or similar)
• Experience working in AI-forward, agentic development workflows (e.g. Claude Code, Cursor) and leveraging them to accelerate development
• Experience with modular, reusable systems (not one-off builds)
• Comfortable working with API-driven and data-configurable systems
