As a specialist game engineer at Elsewhere, you'll work on the very core of our product: a vibrant, interactive 2D virtual world built in the web browser.

Accordingly, success in this role will require strong technical chops. Our product needs to be performant, load quickly, run on a variety of devices, and deliver a world-class user experience. You should be excited about doing things previously thought impossible in the web browser. :)

You will:

• Work with the founders, designers, and pixel artists to conceive and brainstorm new features
• Build and ship client-side code for the game (and surrounding UI)
• Strategize with the CTO about how to structure and architect our system

Ideally, you have:

• Experience with building WebGL games in Phaser, Pixi.js, Babylon (or similar)
• Familiarity with TypeScript and React
• At least 3 years of professional experience as a software engineer

Bonus if you have:

• Shipped a game, either at work or in your spare time
• Experience with developing networked games or MMOs
• Backend development experience using Node.js (or Rust)
• An interest in crypto, web3, or NFTs

We'd like to hear from all interested applicants, even if this doesn't exactly describe your background.
