  • Solid understanding of OOP, asynchronous programming, and rendering performance optimization;
  • Hands-on experience shipping HTML5 slot or casino games from concept to production;
  • Familiarity with Spine animations and asset management pipelines;
  • Experience building or improving internal tools or frameworks for dev teams;
  • Excellent communication and leadership skills — able to align teams, set priorities, and drive delivery;

  • Experience with build automation, CI/CD pipelines, or process optimization tools;
  • Knowledge of performance profiling and debugging across platforms (desktop, mobile, WebGL);
  • Familiarity with iGaming specifics: RNG logic, platform workflow, integrations.
