Job description

Frontend Game Developer FULLY REMOTE up to £40k

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 HTML5
• Strong proficiency in Canvas
• Strong proficiency in WebGL
• Strong proficiency in TypeScript
• Strong proficiency in Pixi.js
• Experience working on interactive or game-based products
• British citizen

Nice to have

• Previous casino or gambling industry experience
• Prior experience working on slot or real-money games

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