With more than 400 employees around the world, we would love you to apply to join an ambitious, innovative and international company!

What is your team about?

This year, Voodoo is focusing on tech recruitment. When it comes to growth, several bottlenecks we’ve previously experienced involve the projects that our tech teams are working on every day, such as our brand new publishing platform designed to support studios and game launches, our marketing performance and optimization systems based on machine learning, and improving the attractiveness of our games and user retention, all of which we approach using internal data collecting solutions, analysis, and A/B testing. Based on our principles and values, you will have the opportunity to join our strong Growth & Engineering department, composed of around 40 people.

Be a part of a small, independent, helpful, and high-performing team of less than ten back-end and front-end Engineers. Come and work with us to solve complex problems using top-of-the-range technology. You will all work together in continuously developing the platform. You will allow studios to optimize their games and increase the margin.

How do you match with our Stack?

REST or graphQl APIs ⧫ Axios, fetch, Apollo ⧫ web markup (HTML5, CSS3) ⧫ Javascript frameworks like VueJs, AngularJS, ReactJS ⧫ npm ⧫ Git

What will be your main challenges?

We are looking for a talented Senior Tech Engineer (Front-end) to be part of the Publishing Engineering team and be in charge of the Publishing Engineering platform.

You will work closely with the product manager to work on the platform roadmap regarding technical aspects. You will fully participate in the choice of the design and you will code the front-end part of the platform.

This platform enables Publishing Managers and Game Studios to test and deliver hit games in a quick, frictionless and efficient way. It is key to fast iterations and making data-driven decisions.

At a later stage, it will also fully leverage Voodoo’s custom analytics capabilities and become the one-stop-shop for efficient, data-driven, and long-term product management. The platform is therefore crucial to the core business: all launched games will be managed via our internal platform to offer the best experience to millions of users worldwide.
