Hi there!

We're looking for a web engineer to join the engineering team at Heroic Labs. We build an open-source, distributed, highly scalable game server called Nakama.

We are simplifying the lives of game developers and providing incredible technology that can be integrated into any game on any platform as easily as possible. Nakama is already powering many games, including multiple titles on the Top 50 of the app stores.

There is an ever-growing open-source community with many contributors, and third-party plugins and projects. Heroic Labs works with independent developers, mid-tier, AAA game studios and many publicly listed Fortune 500 companies across the globe to power games that individually make over 90 billion requests per month into our infrastructure.

We lean towards candidates who have professional experience building sophisticated realtime dashboards embedded in products and custom UI frameworks - however if you don't have experience but feel up to the challenge, please do apply!

About The Role

We are looking for Web engineers who are excited about growing an open-source cloud-native distributed game server and its ecosystem to join our engineering teams. Working closely with other engineers and product managers on both the cloud and game services teams, you will be part of a collaborative culture striving to make building games at scale faster.

Things You Might Do

  • Develop technical expertise in Nakama and accompanying technologies.
  • Liaising with, and directing, external suppliers to build the relevant UI/UX.
  • Build and deploy elegant solutions to complex UI challenges that our customers face when provisioning and managing their server instances in Heroic Cloud.
  • Contribute to the growth of Nakama and Heroic Cloud by designing, building, and testing compelling systems with a focus on the frontend.
  • Improve our developer platform - directly impact the way developers integrate Nakama into their games.
  • Work in many languages to support as many platforms as possible.
  • Give back to the community via open source and blog posts.
  • Experiment: this is a startup so engineering innovations can change.

About You

You love building new things. You tinker with new technologies. You love helping developers be more productive. You love automation. You love helping customers solve problems.

  • Passion for user experience and design and a deep understanding of front-end architecture.
  • Experience leading large multi-quarter efforts with a demonstrated customer or business impact.
  • Comfortable working towards and leading a multi-year UI/UX strategy with incremental deliverables.
  • Given a conference talk on a Web (or JavaScript) related topic.
  • 5+ years of experience with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
  • Experience with modern JavaScript frameworks (e.g., React, Angular, or VueJs/Ember).
  • A passion for working on complex technical problems and have a strong understanding of modern infrastructure and database technologies.
  • Optional: Experience with Go, TypeScript, and other languages.

Compensation:

  • Competitive salary (we don't use remote as an excuse to pay less).
  • Unlimited vacation policy. Plus we require you to take at least 2 weeks off each year (and observe local holidays).
  • At least yearly company all-hands and getaways.
  • Pick your own equipment. We recommend Macs, but we don't worry if you choose something else!
