Our platform merges generative AI with game design to create immersive, player-driven experiences where narrative, visuals, and mechanics evolve in real time. Backed by top-tier investors and led by veterans in gaming and AI, we’re reimagining what games can be-and how players can shape them.

The Role:
We’re looking for a Frontend Developer with strong skills in React and a passion for games and generative AI.

From real-time story editors to dynamic character tools, your work will shape the future of AI-driven gameplay.

What You’ll Do:

Build and maintain core UI components using React, TypeScript, and modern frontend tooling.

Collaborate with game designers, AI engineers, and artists to bring generative features to life-text, image, and interaction.

Design and implement creative tools that allow users to shape stories, characters, and environments in real time.

Optimize performance for real-time interactions, rendering, and state management across platforms.

Push the boundaries of what’s possible at the intersection of web, games, and generative AI.

What You’ll Bring:

3+ years of experience building interactive web applications with React.

Strong understanding of JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML, and CSS (Bonus: Tailwind, Framer Motion, Zustand, or similar).

Passion for games, creative tools, or AI-powered applications.

Experience with state management, real-time data flows, and user-centered design.

Collaborative mindset and excitement for working on experimental, fast-moving products.

Bonus Points For:

Experience with WebGL, Three.js, or other browser-based graphics tools.

Familiarity with generative AI APIs (OpenAI, Stability, etc.) or text-to-image/video tools.

Background in building game UIs or creative platforms.

Understanding of game development workflows (Unity, Unreal, Godot, etc.)-even if not your main stack.
