We are looking for engineers to strengthen our team and help us realize our international growth ambitions!
With Flash disappearing and app stores overcrowding, HTML5 is now the
fastest growing game technology. We have taken a global lead role with
our high-quality HTML5 games. After our history with casual single
player HTML5 games, we now shifted focus to multiplayer games on
messaging platforms, such as Facebook’s Instant Games. This allows us to
explore deeper social integration into our games.
Although we tend to attract social and curious developers who will
gladly drop everything for a learning moment, no one at CoolGames is
here to mandate what you do or how you do it. We’re keen on mentorship
but lean in management, serious about deployment but playfully
freethinking toward a wide range of tools and methodologies.
For engineers who have found their sweet spot in the stack, the
prerogative to specialize is no less than the freedom to move around;
whether that means exclusive devotion to game development, to our
homegrown development framework, or to our legacy portals and back-end.
CoolGames engineers self-organize into small teams for big results.
We keep unnecessary process to a minimum, so we can maintain our pace of
rapid development. We value pragmatism, having pride in our work, and
deep transparency at all levels.
