About the Role
You will be the owner of our Flutter companion app, the product where our players spend the most time, with full responsibility for building, shipping and evolving it. Alongside this, you will be a strong backend developer, confidently handling most tasks across our Node/TypeScript + MongoDB systems and their integrations. You will also maintain our gaming web platform and integrations.

Working closely with our Senior Game Developer, you will keep the platforms behind our games reliable and easy to evolve, using AI-accelerated workflows to ship faster and reduce manual work across the team.

Mobile App: Flutter (Primary Focus)
Own our Flutter companion app end-to-end: architecture, features, releases and quality
Build and ship a growing library of daily games (in Flame, Unity or similar), backed by clean REST APIs
Integrate APIs, authentication, analytics, push notifications, in-app purchases and crash reporting
Continuously improve UX, performance, stability and release process across iOS and Android

Backend & Integrations (Secondary Focus)
Maintain and extend our Node/TypeScript + MongoDB backend
Build and evolve APIs and admin functionality that support our apps
Integrate third-party services including Shopify, payments, email and analytics
Keep data handling clean, secure and pragmatic; comfortable owning most backend problems independently

Web Platform (Maintenance)
Maintain and make light updates to our Next.js/React web platform
Support login, redemption flows and features tied to game launches and promotions

AI Accelerated Development
Use AI tools daily to speed up coding, refactoring and testing
Build reusable prompt patterns and workflows
Reduce human workload through smart automation
Balance speed with sound engineering judgement

What Success Looks Like
A high-quality, reliable Flutter app you fully own and steadily improve
Backend issues handled confidently and independently, with minimal reliance on freelancers
Clean, well-documented, maintainable integrations
Faster feature delivery through meaningful use of AI
Stable releases that support game launches, in strong collaboration with the Senior Game Developer
A steady stream of polished daily games shipping into the app

Experience
- Strong, demonstrable Flutter/Dart experience: able to own a production app independently
- Solid backend experience with Node.js/TypeScript, MongoDB and API development
- Experience integrating third-party services (e.g. Shopify, payments, authentication)
- Confidence using AI tools to accelerate development
- Pragmatic engineering judgement: you know when "good and shipped" beats "perfect"

Desirable Experience
- React/Next.js experience sufficient to maintain a stable web codebase
- Cloud deployment experience (Google Cloud, Docker, CI/CD)
- Firebase, mobile analytics, in-app purchases or push notifications
- E-commerce, login and user-account systems
- Working in small, product-led teams
- Building games in Flame in your spare time (bonus points for samples or portfolio)
- Game development in Unity or other engines
- Real-time or multiplayer game networking (Socket.IO, Photon or similar)

About You
- Enjoys autonomy but works collaboratively
- Values speed, iteration and practicality
- Comfortable supporting a technical lead rather than being the lead
- Can move between mobile polish and backend logic without friction
- Excited about using AI to multiply impact
