Tech Lead - Game Framework

Push Gaming is a game development studio specialising in creating mobile-optimised online casino games. The company focuses on building a shared client framework used across all their slot games, which includes the rendering engine, slot mechanics, templates, player panel, and build tooling.

• Expert experience with TypeScript and a PixiJS-class rendering engine (specifically PixiJS v8).
• Experience in slot or iGaming client development involving server-authoritative outcomes, RTP variants, and certification constraints.
• Experience building and maintaining shared libraries, SDKs, or engines used by multiple teams focusing on API design, versioning, and backward compatibility.
• Proven record of shipping complex commercial games and tackling challenging technical problems.
• Strong debugging, profiling, and performance optimization skills across devices.
• Ability to drive technical decisions among peers who do not report directly.
• Typically 5+ years in game client development including senior technical roles.

Nice to have:

• Experience with build pipelines and CI such as GitHub Actions.
• Experience with automated testing of game clients (unit, integration, or visual regression tests).
• Experience with monorepos or multi-package setups (e.g., npm workspaces, Lerna, Turborepo, Nx).
• Experience using AI-assisted development tools in daily work.

• Set and document the technical direction of the framework, including the engine, shared slot mechanics and templates, player panel, developer tooling, and CI checks.
• Design and evolve shared packages with backwards compatibility and clear deprecation paths.
• Build tooling for producing game variants and reskins from a common base.
• Own the code review standards and mentor developers through reviews, pairing, and design discussions.
• Serve as the technical contact for game teams and server-side engineers using the framework.
• Provide honest estimates and risk assessments; identify and propose sequencing for technical debt.
• Document decisions, standards, and package READMEs as part of the development process.
