- Advanced experience with Unity/C# and Luna or a comparable playable ads production workflow.

- Strong experience with at least one web game/playable framework, such as Cocos Creator, Phaser or PixiJS, using TypeScript and/or JavaScript.

- Solid understanding of HTML5, CSS responsive layout, Canvas/WebGL, mobile browser behavior, touch input and device orientation.

- Experience with Node.js/npm, Webpack, Vite or equivalent tooling for bundling and shipping lightweight HTML5 builds.

- Experience designing reusable templates and data/config-driven gameplay systems for rapid iteration and variant production.

- Experience building automation or internal tools for asset processing, level/config generation, batch builds, technical validation, QA or publishing workflows.

- Strong knowledge of performance and build-size optimization, including image/audio compression, texture atlases, minification and runtime profiling.

- Experience integrating SDKs, CTA/lifecycle events, analytics or ad-network-specific requirements is highly valued.

- Able to use Python, JavaScript/TypeScript or shell scripting to automate repetitive development and production tasks.

- Strong plus: PixiJS, WebGL shaders, CI/CD, no-code parameterization, AI-assisted development, SALA/Snapbeat or similar automation systems.

Soft skills:

- We are looking for a teammate who is hardworking, collaborative, and passionate about games.
- Naturally curious and always looking for new ways to solve problems.
