Frontend Game Developer
Contract: 12 months (Permanent thereafter)
Location: UK Remote (Hybrid in Manchester once office opens)
About the Company
Founded in 2024, this fast-growing software company has already achieved profitability within its first year, launching its first slot game in February 2025. With an energetic team of 8 and ambitious plans to double in size over the next year, this is a business in true scale-up mode.
The culture is fast-paced, transparent, and outspoken. Everyone is treated as an equal, and the leadership team is open about how the business is performing. This is not a place for passengers — it’s for people who are confident, vocal, and excited by building something meaningful!
The Role
This is the first Frontend Developer hire within the development team and a critical role in shaping how games are built going forward.
You’ll be working on multiple HTML5 casino-style games simultaneously, often switching between 3–4 projects at any one time. No two days will look the same, and the environment is intentionally high-energy.
The initial contract is 12 months, with a move to permanent expected (potentially sooner if the Manchester office opens earlier).
Working pattern
* Monday–Friday (choose: 7–3, 8–4, or 9–5)
* Flexible approach to hours
Key Responsibilities
* Develop and maintain HTML5 slot-style games
* Work across multiple game projects simultaneously
* Build performant, scalable frontend game logic
* Collaborate closely with a small, highly driven team
* Adapt quickly to changing priorities and new features
* Take ownership of your work and speak up when something can be improved
You’ll thrive here if you are:
* Energetic, confident, and outspoken
* Passionate about games and game development
* Comfortable in fast-paced, sometimes high-pressure environments
* Able to manage multiple projects without hand-holding
Required experience
* 2–3 years professional experience as a Frontend / Game Developer (ideally 3)
* Strong proficiency in:
o HTML5
o Canvas
o WebGL
o TypeScript
o Pixi.js
* Experience working on interactive or game-based products
* British citizen

This role is ideal for a mid-level frontend game developer who wants real responsibility, autonomy, and the chance to grow with a company that’s moving fast and winning early.
