We are now looking for an awesome Frontend Developer to join us in our Kyiv office, located in the city center (“Palats Sportu” metro station).

**About the role**

The Frontend Developer at Quickspin will join our Game Operations team. They focus on solutions that apply to our entire portfolio of games often through run-time loaded adapter / bridge components / regulation modules coupled to our game framework, which is developed in TypeScript. Within your team you will take a E2E approach on any task, and solutions are followed from draft to post-production and maintenance. Challenges and solutions often vary and can require collaboration with both the Platform team & Game Studio.

Our small but diverse team is located in both Stockholm (Sweden) and in Kyiv, where the cross-collaborations demands excellent communication and English skills.

Today we work with the Atlassian suite (JIRA, Confluence, Bitbucket) with additional development infrastructure and tools hosted in AWS. We use a multi-repository approach with maven and npm as package managers. For games development we have an in-house built HTML5 (TypeScript, CSS3, SASS, gulp, Express) game framework making heavy use of the PIXI rendering engine. For dev tools and web services we typically use Node.js, ECMAScript EC6, Docker, Express, React, Webpack, npm and gulp. For CI/CD we use Jenkins and scripted pipelines. We strive to be tech agnostic and have a development environment that runs on OSX, Windows and Linux.
