Job description

Explore the World. Create the Experience.

Do you love turning creative ideas into playful, engaging experiences? Are you the kind of developer who sees something cool and immediately wants to build it?

At GeoGuessr, we’re looking for a creative frontend developer who combines a strong eye for UI with solid technical skills and the curiosity to bring ideas to life.

You’ll help shape the experience for millions of players worldwide, creating features that are not only functional but also fun, intuitive, and visually engaging.

The role

You’ll work at the intersection of creativity, design, and technology, collaborating closely with designers and product managers to create engaging game experiences.

We’re looking for someone who doesn’t just implement designs but brings ideas to the table, experiments, and takes ownership from concept to finished feature.

You have hands-on experience building web applications and care about how things look, feel, and perform.

Your main focus will be frontend development, but you understand how APIs and backend services work together.

What you will do:
Build playful, polished, and interactive experiences for millions of players.

• Turn ideas and designs into high-quality, production-ready features.

• Collaborate with Design and Product to explore ideas and improve the player experience.

• Take initiative, experiment, and drive solutions forward independently.

• Create reusable UI components with attention to performance, usability, and visual details.

• Work with APIs and occasionally make smaller backend changes, using AI tools where helpful.

What we hope you’ll bring:

• Hands-on experience with modern web development, particularly React and TypeScript.

• A creative mindset and a strong eye for UI, interactions, and visual details.

• Experience turning ideas into working solutions, with an understanding of performance and code quality.

• A self-starter mentality – you take initiative and enjoy figuring things out.

• A solid understanding of how web applications work, including APIs and frontend/backend communication.

• Curiosity about AI-assisted development and the ability to understand and evaluate the solutions you build.

• A collaborative mindset and a genuine interest in games and playful digital experiences.

Its extra nice if you bring:

• Experience building games or other interactive web experiences.

• Experience with animations, motion design, Three.js, WebGL, or creative coding.

• Familiarity with Figma, design systems, or component libraries.

• Personal projects that showcase your creativity and technical skills.

Who you are:

• You’re curious, creative, and love building things.

• You care about how something looks, feels, and works – not just whether the code runs.

• You enjoy collaborating with others, but you’re equally comfortable taking ownership, exploring ideas, and making things happen.

• Most importantly, you love creating experiences that make people smile.

• Built something you’re proud of? We’d love to see it! Whether it’s a game, an interactive website, or a creative experiment, show us what you enjoy creating.

Wait, there's more!

We're offering a package of perks to keep you charged up and ready to create wonders:

• Daily breakfast and lunch at the office.

• 6 weeks of vacation + 3 extra days off, for a well-deserved rest.

• Pension and insurance as per ITP1 guidelines.

• 50,000 SEK education benefit.

• 5,000 SEK wellness allowance.

• Free massage once a month

• A high energy and very much alive office.

We encourage exercise during working hours. We provide a large selection of snacks and drinks for recovery. A home to simply enjoy.

This role is based in Stockholm where we have invested in creating our unique home at Katarinavägen 17, in the glass house by Slussen.
