Frontend Developer (3 month Contract)

About the role

We’re looking for an experienced Frontend Developer to take on a pivotal role for our upcoming FPS, Heart Electric.

You’ll be the bridge between our Game, Design, Backend, and UI/UX teams - building the key piece that pulls everything together. Technical expertise is essential, but just as important is your enthusiasm for communicating and collaborating across teams.

This is the perfect opportunity for a web developer with the skills to galvanize a project technically while being deeply involved in the game development process.

What you’ll be doing

• Add features to our in-game frontend
• Use React to build reusable components and UI elements to keep the frontend consistent and easy to use, both for players and developers
• Collaborate with Game, Design, and UI/UX teams to iterate, experiment, and improve player experience
• Partner with Backend and Infrastructure engineers to ensure the platform is stable, scalable, and secure for years to come
• Integrate with external service providers (e.g., Twitch, Steam) to create tools that strengthen our community
• Apply solid UI testing practices and frameworks to make development faster, testing easier, and bugs fewer

What We'd Like to See

• Strong practical experience with React, Next.Js, and Node.Js
• Experience with state management (Zustand, React Context, or Redux) and Web Sockets
• Awareness of the differences between web and desktop design patterns (bonus if you’ve used frameworks like Electron or React Native)
• Comfort with cloud-based services, especially AWS and its security features; curiosity about secure development and user data safety
• Professional experience in the gaming industry is a bonus, but not required
• Experience building game UIs or player-facing tools/websites is especially exciting
• No game engine experience required, though experience with CoherentLabs Gameface is valuable
• Familiarity with game development concepts will help smooth communication with the Game Team
