About Us 🚀
Immutable is a global technology company, powering the leading platform for building games on Ethereum. We are on a mission to build the future of gaming by redefining how games are played and discovered. Founded in 2018, Immutable is one of the fastest Australian companies to hit unicorn status, having raised more than AUD $300M+ and a valuation of AUD $3.5 billion.
Currently, the Immutable Group consists of the Immutable Platform, the leading platform for building games on Ethereum powering successful games like RavenQuest and Immortal Rising 2, and Immutable Games, a global leader in web3 game development and publishing with leading titles Gods Unchained and Guild of Guardians.
Our ambition is to make digital worlds real; we have incredible global growth plans as the fastest growing gaming chain in 2024 with 250+ games signed, more than in all previous years combined. 🚀
A bit about the role 🤔:
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will work in a high performing and passionate team focused on building out the Immutable Play and Passport, our flagship products.
One of the biggest challenges facing web3 game studios today is how to securely and seamlessly onboard players largely due to the need for a crypto wallet. Immutable is tackling this head-on with Immutable Passport, a non-custodial wallet and authentication solution that simplifies onboarding through passwordless sign-in and automatic wallet creation. And with Immutable Play, our end-to-end platform for building and scaling web3 games, studios can drive adoption across mainstream audiences, maintain enterprise-grade security, and scale globally.
Gamers benefit too: Passport gives them a secure digital wallet, protection against fraud, and seamless authentication across web3 games and marketplaces unlocking frictionless exploration of digital worlds.
In this role, you’ll work across Immutable Play and Passport, our flagship products. While your main focus will be on front-end development, you’ll also gain significant exposure to back-end systems and blockchain technologies. You’ll collaborate closely with diverse stakeholders across the company including the Founders, to make critical product decisions.

- Work closely with your team members to ensure operational excellence for the services your team owns
- Continually work with your team to iterate on ways of working

- 8 + years of deep engineering experience with extensive exposure to a product development environment
- Extensive front-end experience with TypeScript and React is a must
