At Playnetic, we’re reimagining the future of iGaming — combining cutting-edge technology, art, and storytelling to create world-class entertainment experiences.

As part of this, we’re launching a brand-new frontend initiative — a true greenfield project to build our next-generation frontend engine from scratch. This team will define the architecture, standards, and framework that future game teams will build upon.

We are hiring both Lead and Senior Frontend Engineers to be part of this journey.

• Ensure scalability, maintainability, and performance across the platform

For the Lead role, you will additionally:

• Own architecture and key technical decisions

• Lead and mentor a small team of engineers

• Drive delivery, engineering standards, and ways of working

• Take ownership of the full lifecycle from concept to production

What You’ll Bring

• Strong TypeScript expertise

• Commercial experience with PixiJS (essential)

• Experience building interactive web applications or game engines

• Strong understanding of performance optimisation and rendering

For the Lead role, you should also have:

• Proven experience leading engineers (2+ years)

• Experience owning architecture and technical direction

• Strong understanding of building scalable, production-ready systems

Bonus Points If You Have

• Experience in iGaming, casino, or similar performance-heavy environments

• Experience building reusable frameworks or shared platforms
