Lead Full Stack Engineer

Gamers spent more than $100 billion on in-game items last year. However, $0 of that went to other players – it went directly to huge free-to-play game studios. Until now, games have only sold licences for these in-game items with highly restricted rights. At Immutable, we’re all about ownership: using blockchain technology to give players true and “immutable” ownership over the items they’ve worked so hard to acquire. This means they can trade, sell and utilize their digital items as they see fit. Alongside games, we build marketplaces and tools for these assets, so that game developers can build fully-fledged economies within their games.

Our flagship title, Gods Unchained, is seeking a Lead Full Stack Engineer to lead the Gods Unchained web engineering team (currently 4 engineers). This team covers both the backend of Gods Unchained (primarily written in Golang/node) and the Gods Unchained website/launcher (written in Angular) - deep knowledge of this stack is not necessarily required (though it will be useful), as long as you have fantastic engineering principles and a willingness to stretch yourself.

Your role

We build a lot of the UI for the metagame experiences (e.g. deck building, viewing your inventory, making purchases) in web technology, so this is a fantastic chance to build a technically challenging, consumer-facing and fun product at the fastest growing startup in Australia. You don’t need a background in games or blockchain for this role - you just need to be an awesome engineer who fits into our culture.

You will be an active engineer, working on both frontend and backend features, as well as guiding your team to make optimal architectural choices. In particular, one of your early projects will be adapting Gods Unchained’s launcher (currently an electron app) for mobile proportions and designs, so that Gods Unchained can launch on mobile. Working with other engineering leaders, you will make large-scale choices about the future technical strategy of Gods Unchained.

You will perform code reviews (including pull request reviews) and technical design reviews for others, and work to upskill your team as a whole.

Whilst no day is typical, you will:

*Build excellently engineered features quickly and efficiently

*Create full stack technical designs

*Review code and technical designs proposed by team members

*Lead your team from a technical perspective as well as guide and mentor them

*Develop a cohesive technical vision for the product

*Be the point of contact for other key teams during integrations

You will be joining at a critical time where you will have full ownership and accountability for web engineering in Gods Unchained. This is a critical role to our company’s success and we are looking for someone with real passion, communication skills and technical leadership.

About You

Perks and Benefits

We are backed by top-tier investors, and have millions of dollars in revenue and more than $25m in venture funding. Our first title, Gods Unchained, is already the number one blockchain game in terms of revenue and assets: we’ve actually sold more in-game assets than all other blockchain games put together. We do a ton of R&D in this space as well - we’re one of the world’s leading experts on the application of this technology to games. Because of this, we are well-positioned to leverage our first-mover advantage and make true ownership of game assets go mainstream.
