(A Job Ad, But Make It a Game Poem)
🎵 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).
