• Work closely with our Unity developers to integrate web platforms with live services, managing or building internal tools for artwork databases, analytics, and more.

Requirements

• Proven experience in web development, with a portfolio demonstrating proficiency in Next.js, TypeScript, and, ideally, C#.
• A solid grasp of API design principles, hands-on experience in prototyping and testing and a portfolio demonstrating it.
• Professional experience in managing and operating NoSQL databases, specifically MongoDB.
