🎵 Insert coin. Press Start. New quest unlocked…

A cherished client (the kind you actually brag about),

Needs a React hero to help worlds come alive — no doubt.

In Chatswood HQ, five days a week you’ll spawn,

Building slick interfaces from dusk ‘til dawn.

You are the one who ships, not just “plans to ship,”

You push clean PRs with a confident grip.

You tame the bugs, you buff the UI,

You optimise frames so the players don’t cry.

🧩 The Build You’ll Master

React.js is your main character class,

With TypeScript + modern JavaScript — built to last.

You’ve battled real users, in production you’ve stayed,

And your Node.js has actually been deployed (not just “played”).

Next.js? Maybe you’ve met it, maybe not — that’s fine,

If you learn fast, you’ll be levelling in no time.

And when it comes to shipping, you don’t need a map:

CI/CD pipelines, Git, PRs — you live in that trap.

🗺️ The World Map

Your party meets on-site in Chatswood (yep — 5 days),

Collaborative quests, real teamwork, no lone-wolf fades.

And Mandarin is key — that’s not flavour text,

You’ll work with Mandarin-speaking teams/stakeholders up next.

🧠 Your Core Stats

 4–5 years commercial software engineering XP

✅ Strong React.js + TypeScript/modern JS build

 Node.js production experience (real battles, real stakes)

 Next.js exposure or the drive to pick it up fast

✅ Ships via CI/CD (Git, PRs, code reviews, the whole ritual)

✅ Clear communicator, team player, puzzle-solver under pressure

✅ Comfortable 5 days on-site, Chatswood

🛂 Visa & Eligibility Checkpoint

 485 visa holders welcome (as long as you have 2+ years remaining)

✅ You must have full working rights in Australia now and for the medium term

🏆 The Reward Screen

A role inside game development, where performance matters,

Where the UI isn’t “just UI” — it’s what the player remembers.

You’ll build, ship, improve — repeat —

With a team that actually cares about craft (and moving fast feels sweet).

📩 Ready to join the party?

Send your CV + a quick note on:

  • your React/TypeScript highlights
  • Node/production experience
  • Mandarin proficiency
  • visa status + remaining time (if on 485)

And we’ll take it from “menu screen” to “gameplay” quickly.
