• Curious and able to learn quickly, technical enough to reason through unfamiliar problems
• Ability to work across different technical areas and debug complex or unfamiliar code
• Interest in games, rendering, tooling or engine-like game components

Required skills

• Solid programming fundamentals
• JavaScript or TypeScript
• Understanding of browser behavior and frontend performance
• Basic backend knowledge and practical DevOps awareness
