In our eyes game development is a promise for fun and entertainment – that’s what we live and aim for! Innovation is part of our DNA. We actively integrate Artificial Intelligence to reduce repetitive tasks and create space for what really matters: strategic thinking and human connection. We don't just use AI - we look for people who can shape the way we work with it. We are seeking an experienced Senior Node.js Developer (all genders) to join our team working on a successful Free-to Play (F2P) mobile strategy game.

Design, develop, test, deploy, maintain, and improve our software with high-quality, maintainable code. Work closely with game designers and product leads to implement new features with an interest in learning the complementary full-stack technologies. Work closely with an internal team focusing purely on replacing our legacy PHP-service and adopting their work for the Warhammer 40.000 team. Create new Node.js services in this eco-system for specialized functionality relevant for the Warhammer 40.000: Supremacy game. Contribute high-quality, maintainable Typescript code using a wide range of technologies such as Next.js, Nest.js, Jest, Mocha, Turbopack, Github, Docker, MySQL, Pub/Sub and Redis.
