Game Developer

Design and build the mini-games that power the PlayVlay feed. You'll craft self-contained HTML5 games against our Game SDK, tune difficulty and feel, and turn rough ideas into games players can't put down. Strong JavaScript and a love for game-feel matter more than a specific engine.

Full-time Remote HTML5 / Canvas / JS

About the role

You'll design and ship the games players actually see in the PlayVlay feed — from a first prototype to a polished, self-contained HTML5 game running against our Game SDK. Expect to own difficulty tuning, game-feel, and level design end to end.

What you'll do

  • Build single-file HTML5 games (Canvas/WebGL) that run inside the PlayVlay app.
  • Wire games to the Game SDK contract — score reporting, levels, game-over state.
  • Iterate on game-feel: pacing, difficulty curves, juice, and replayability.
  • Work closely with design and product to turn concepts into shipped games.

What we're looking for

  • Strong JavaScript fundamentals; comfortable with Canvas or a lightweight game engine.
  • A track record of finishing playable things, not just prototypes.
  • Good instincts for what makes a short session fun.
