About the Role

Join a remote-first team building immersive digital board game experiences for over 3.6 million yearly players. As a Full-Stack Product Developer, you'll take ownership of end-to-end development—from backend logic to responsive, polished interfaces—ensuring smooth gameplay and long-term scalability.

What You’ll Do

  • Refactor and evolve game architecture to improve code clarity and system scalability
  • Design robust, multi-platform systems that deliver consistent features across titles
  • Own full-stack implementation, balancing technical depth with meaningful player impact
  • Optimize performance under load, ensuring responsive gameplay even during peak usage
  • Collaborate with designers and product teams to turn ideas into intuitive experiences
  • Review code with an eye for maintainability, quality, and architectural soundness
  • Improve development workflows using automation, testing, and CI/CD practices
  • Help mentor peers and raise engineering standards across the team

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong background in Node.js and full-stack TypeScript applications
  • Proficiency with React, CSS, and building high-performance front-end interfaces
  • Experience designing and maintaining scalable backend systems and REST APIs
  • Familiarity with relational databases and writing efficient queries
  • Clear written communication skills, especially in async environments
  • Active experience with Git and collaborative development workflows
  • A passion for board games and a player-first mindset
  • AI fluency—you’re comfortable using AI tools to accelerate problem-solving

Nice to Have

  • Experience analyzing player behavior using SQL or data tools
  • Contributions to open-source projects or developer communities

Our Culture

We value ownership, clear communication, and results over face time. Work is fully remote and asynchronous, with an emphasis on deep focus and efficiency. You’ll have access to company metrics, influence over decisions, and stock in the business—because we expect everyone to think like an owner.

Benefits

  • Competitive USD salary, adjusted for experience and location
  • Stock options—every developer has equity
  • Unlimited vacation and flexible scheduling
  • Annual team offsite
  • Full equipment budget and AI tool experimentation fund
  • Transparent access to company performance data and internal discussions
