Are you ready to take your frontend career to boss level? We’re an innovative game studio based in sunny Malta, and we’re on the hunt for a Frontend Team Lead who’s passionate about building high-performance user interfaces, mentoring developers, and driving technical strategy for world-class online games.
If you're a hands-on leader who lives and breathes Vue.js and Pixi.JS, and you want to shape the frontend direction of a fast-growing studio, this is your next big move.

What You’ll Be Doing
  • Leading and mentoring a talented team of frontend developers — helping them grow, learn, and deliver.
  • Defining and executing the frontend technical strategy to ensure scalability, maintainability, and peak performance.
  • Tackling complex UI challenges and pushing the limits of Pixi.JS to create stunning, high-speed visuals.
  • Enhancing code quality, state management, and frontend performance for smooth, responsive gameplay.
  • Collaborating closely with backend, product, and design teams to build polished, well-integrated player experiences.
  • Driving innovation by introducing new tools, processes, and technologies to level up the team.

What We’re Looking For
  • Proven experience leading or mentoring frontend teams in gaming or interactive web environments.
  • Mastery of modern frontend tech — Vue.js and Pixi.JS are must-haves.
  • Deep understanding of state management, performance optimization, and clean architecture.
  • Experience with RESTful APIs, WebSockets, and real-time data handling.
  • Solid grasp of responsive and cross-platform design (desktop & mobile).
  • Passion for clean, maintainable code and continuously improving workflows.
  • Familiar with Git and CI/CD pipelines.
  • A collaborative mindset and a love for solving tricky technical puzzles.

Why You’ll Love Working With Us
  • Work from anywhere for a month each year – Travel and still code? Yes please.
  • Hybrid remote/office model – Flexible work-life balance.
  • Private medical insurance – We've got you covered.
  • Training budget – Keep learning, keep growing.
  • Free lunch once a month – Because great work deserves great food.
  • Birthday leave – Take a paid day off to celebrate you.
  • Mental health support – Access to EAP and professional counseling services.
  • Fitness initiative – Yearly reimbursement for your gym or workout package.
  • Local perks – Get Cloudigo discounts (for Malta-based team) or lifestyle vouchers if you're abroad.

Ready to Lead the Charge? If you're excited by building high-performance game frontends and leading talented teams to new heights, we want to hear from you.
