Job Description

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. You’ll also have a high degree of autonomy when it comes to tools, tech, and architecture, with most goals driven by product impact rather than rigid tech constraints.

As Immutable helps businesses scale, we’re looking to scale, too! We are searching for passionate Frontend focused software engineers who want to work on genuinely hard problems in the most exciting space in the world right now. We usually work in tight-knit, highly collaborative squads of 3-4 engineers. We often pair, or even mob on our tasks, and our credo is to succeed or fail together as a team. You don’t need any blockchain experience; you just need solid engineering principles, good communication skills, and a passion for learning about the future of digital asset ownership.

You'll Be Empowered To 🎮 :

    • Work across Immutable Play and Passport - Immutable’s crypto wallet and end-to-end platform for building and scaling web3 games
    • Focus on client-side components of Passport or Play, especially TypeScript, UI components
    • Engage with multiple diverse stakeholders, up to and including the Founders, to arrive at the best product decisions
    • Work across a range of bleeding-edge technologies: React, Typescript, Go, AWS, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, Microservices, Event Oriented Systems, Terraform, exposure to Blockchain Development - Solidity
    • Be part of a collaborative team environment
    • Participate in team planning and product design sessions
    • Help estimate and prioritise proposed features
    • Work in an experimental environment, learning from customer feedback and iterating on products
    • 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

We'd Love You To Bring 🤝:

    • 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
    • Experience in testing client-side applications at different levels (unit, component, app) is a must
    • The ability to write clean, efficient, testable and maintainable TypeScript code is essential
    • The ability to work comfortably across a range of technologies
    • The ability to teach best practices to junior team members
    • A passion for delivering fantastic products to users with care and empathy
    • Solid verbal and written communication skills, with empathy, allowing you to communicate effectively across a range of stakeholders
    • Start-up and scale-up experience would be advantageous 
    • An interest or keenness to upskill in the Web3 space
