Senior Frontend Engineer

Salary Competitive

It’s an exciting time to join Tactile. We're a diverse team of storytellers, puzzle enthusiasts and casual mobile game creators. Our story began in 2008 in the heart of beautiful Copenhagen, and since then we have experienced continuous growth, establishing ourselves as one of the largest gaming companies in Denmark. In more recent years, we have been scaling fast, in big part thanks to the success of a little game called Lily’s Garden. Now we’re on a mission to solidify our position as one of the leaders in creating out-of-the-ordinary casual puzzle games.

With more than 300 talented individuals, we are a mix of over 40 nationalities and 43% women. We truly appreciate the richness of different experiences and perspectives that Tactilers bring to the game. This is why we foster a lean organisational culture, in which each individual is encouraged to take responsibility, be open and grow in their own way. We pride ourselves in cultivating a studio environment that stays away from crunch, that fosters your skills no matter what your discipline is, and one that gives you a place to be creative alongside other passionate and invested storytellers.

🚀 Your role & impact:

We are currently growing our Core team and are on the search for experienced Frontend Engineers to join the team of talented developers in charge of building our back-end systems and internal tools.

The Core team at Tactile is responsible for building a variety of in-house solutions, which are used to manage our live game (LiveOps), marketing and data operations. These tools and platforms are used by different teams within the business to evaluate and improve their day-to-day operations.

The impact you will have on the team’s success is that you will help to keep the UI of our internal tools in line with the company's standards - and ultimately, drive more people towards using them. You will work closely with other frontenders, backenders and product designers to spearhead the integration of our new dashboard designs, enhance our design system and fine-tune our internal services.

Our web platform's frontend is written in React following our style-guide along with a components library we are still developing. The backend is written in Node.js and we use the Express web framework connected to a MongoDB database. We run on GCP, connecting our services through message queues. We write all our code in Typescript.

We always put quality first here. If you’re a developer who knows how to set up a robust software architecture, loves to follow good coding practices (such as unit testing) and create efficient workflows, then you might just be our missing piece! 🧩

📍 This role is based in our beautiful Copenhagen office, as we truly believe that when talented people work closely together, amazing things happen!

Okay, let’s get a little bit more specific. Here’s what you’ll be doing on the day-to-day:

Implementing new features and tools for our dashboards (LiveOps, Data & Marketing)
Making high quality UI components
Maintaining the existing code base
Taking over responsibility from implementation to deployment
Bring up your own ideas to shape our product and actively search for requests and feedback from the product team
Peer code reviews
Digging around the backend code (if needed)

To keep it short & sweet, as a part of our Core team you’ll be working with a modern stack:

TypeScript, Node.js & Express.js (as our main language and frameworks)
React.js
MaterialUI
Jest
GCP
Docker
Kubernetes
CircleCI
PostgreSQL & MongoDB
... and more!

We do not expect you to know everything about this stack (we're not looking for unicorns), but you should be open to and comfortable with learning new technologies.

Practices & principles we cannot live without:

Clean coding practices
Code reviews
OOP
SOLID & DRY principles
Test driven development (TDD) & unit testing
Dependency Injection

... and we just finished reading Refactoring UI in our Book Club.

Don’t worry if you haven’t had a chance to work with these yet, learning about how we structure our code will be a part of your onboarding process.

What’s in it for you?

🌆 Beautiful office space with probably the best view in Copenhagen
🩺 Pension and private health insurance
💻 A chance to work with the latest tools and technology
📚 Opportunities for individual growth with development talks as well as workshops, books and courses
🌮 Daily, healthy organic breakfast and lunch prepared by our professional chefs in-house
🥳 Social activities, including game nights, book club, Friday bar and more
🔍 Free Danish lessons with our in-house Danish teacher
