R&D Game Developer
Evolution is looking for an R&D Game Developer to join a team that handles the weird, new, and not-yet-fully-defined technical challenges that come up across the company. This is not a narrow role where you only work on one part of the product. The work can touch pretty much anything: frontend, backend, DevOps, tooling, prototypes, internal game components, performance, rendering, automation, and whatever else the next unusual problem requires.
That said, there is a stronger emphasis on the frontend side, since that’s where much of the complexity usually lives in our games. The company is looking for someone who enjoys figuring things out from first principles, jumping between different technical areas, and working on problems where the path is not always obvious from day one.
- Building and improving game-related frontend components
- Working on backend parts when needed
- Creating tools, prototypes, and internal utilities
- Investigating technical unknowns and proposing practical solutions
- Improving performance, game architecture, and developer workflows
- Touching DevOps, build pipelines, deployment, and infrastructure when the task requires it
- Working closely with other engineers to solve problems that do not fit neatly into one category
- Strong programming fundamentals (required)
- Solid JavaScript or TypeScript experience (required)
- Good understanding of browser behaviour and frontend performance (required)
- Ability to work across different technical areas when needed (required)
- Comfort with debugging complex or unfamiliar code (required)
- Practical backend knowledge (required)
- Basic DevOps awareness (required)
- Interest in games, rendering, tooling, or engine-like game components (required)
- A mindset focused on understanding, not just copying patterns (required)
- Experience or interest in graphics programming (nice-to-have)
- Experience or interest in WebGL or OpenGL (nice-to-have)
- Experience or interest in Pixi.js (nice-to-have)
- Experience or interest in browser rendering internals (nice-to-have)
- Experience or interest in game architecture (nice-to-have)
- Experience or interest in performance optimisation (nice-to-have)
- Experience or interest in animation (nice-to-have)
- Experience or interest in build tools and developer tooling (nice-to-have)
- Experience or interest in low-level programming concepts (nice-to-have)
- Environment tailored to allow you to realise your full potential.
- Awesome mix between all benefits of a large company and all advantages of creative startup culture.
- Tailor-made career program and many opportunities to grow and prove yourself.
- Company funded training.
- Flexibility on working hours.
- Multisport/Coolfit card.
- Additional health insurance.
