Are you passionate about creating great gaming experiences? Do you want to be part of a fast-moving startup? Come and help us grow TimeGuessr!
We are looking for a Full-Stack Developer
to join our team and help develop TimeGuessr. This role is primarily
focused on maintaining and improving our web platform, with potential
opportunities to contribute to new projects as the company grows.
- Develop and optimise features for our vanilla JavaScript-based frontend and Node.js backend.
- Work with AWS to ensure scalability and performance.
- Manage and optimize MySQL databases for efficient data handling.
- Improve UX/UI using JavaScript, CSS, and best web practices.
- Contribute to new projects as the platform evolves.
- Strong experience with vanilla JavaScript and Node.js
- Experience with React or React Native – While TimeGuessr currently uses vanilla JavaScript, familiarity with these frameworks will be useful for future projects.
- Interest in TimeGuessr – If you’ve played the game before, you’ll have a better sense of how users interact with it.
- Familiarity with MySQL databases, and working with AWS or similar cloud providers.
- Proficiency in CSS and frontend performance optimization. You need to be competent in build visually appealing and user-friendly designs for a large daily user base.
- Ability to work independently and efficiently in a remote setting.
- Worked on large-scale web applications – If you've contributed to high-traffic sites or handled complex backend logic, that's a plus.
- Familiarity with additional web technologies – Things like WebSockets, Redis, caching strategies, or real-time data handling are beneficial.
- A Computer Science degree (or similar) – While a degree is valued, hands-on experience and a strong portfolio matter far more to us.
I'm most interested in hearing about your real experience building products — whether from side projects or professional work. To be successful in this role, you need to be self-reliant and versatile.
This is a remote, part-time position, and we're open to candidates from anywhere. Hours may increase in the future as the platform evolves.
