You’ll work closely with gameplay engineers, designers, and product leads to:

Build and optimize scalable web and mobile applications using React, React Native, Node.js, and TypeScript.
Integrate hardware data and real-time performance metrics into mobile and web experiences.
Contribute to architectural decisions and development standards as we scale our platform.
Ensure smooth deployment and performance in our AWS environment.

Key Responsibilities

Design, build, and optimize web and mobile applications using React, React Native, Next.js, Tailwind CSS, Node.js, and TypeScript, ensuring responsive performance across devices.
Develop backend APIs, real-time integrations, and data pipelines that deliver low latency and handle variable concurrent users.
Architect solutions for scalability, reliability, and high availability, implementing redundancy and failover strategies where needed.
Design and manage databases (SQL and NoSQL) to maintain data integrity, consistency, and high throughput.
Implement Cloudflare, CloudFront, and S3 Origin configurations to improve load times, reduce latency, and ensure global content delivery performance.
Protect user data and ensure compliance with GDPR and CCPA, applying secure-by-design principles across all systems.
Monitor performance, latency, and resource utilization using observability tools to detect anomalies and optimize cost efficiency.
Collaborate with designers and gameplay engineers to deliver seamless, intuitive user experiences backed by real-time feedback and stable backend performance.
Use AI-assisted coding tools (Claude, GitHub Copilot, Cody) and automation platforms (n8n, Zapier, Make) to improve development speed and consistency.
Work in a collaborative, hybrid setup, contributing in person from our Lisbon office at least 3 days a week.
Experience working in a startup or small, fast-moving team environment. You thrive with autonomy, adapt quickly, and enjoy building things that don’t exist yet.
