However, we're also open to considering strong graduates who can demonstrate solid C++ capability, whether through academic work, personal projects, or early commercial experience.

  • Experience developing games or interactive applications
  • Strong understanding of asynchronous programming (e.g. coroutines)
  • Working knowledge of JavaScript (ES6+)
  • Experience working with JSON
  • Git or other source control systems
  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work in a collaborative team
Desirable
  • Experience migrating JavaScript codebases into C++
  • Experience with JavaScript game engines (e.g. Pixi.js or Phaser)
  • Knowledge of HTML5 game architectures
  • Experience using Node.js
  • Automated testing experience
  • Experience working in Agile environments
  • iGaming or gambling sector experience

  • Enhanced family leave (maternity, paternity, adoption, shared parental)
  • Salary sacrifice schemes (including pension and cycle-to-work)
  • Private healthcare savings scheme + Employee Assistance Programme
  • Company recognition awards
  • Regular company-funded social events
This role would suit a developer who enjoys working on interactive products in a collaborative environment and is looking for a stable, long-term opportunity with strong benefits and career development potential.
