Javascript/Web Engineer

  • Full-time

Company Description

At Friendly Pixel we’re aspiring to build the best casual gaming experiences to play with your friends. Some of our most memorable gaming experiences growing up were board games and couch co-op video games, and now we want to take those experiences to the next level. We’re a very small team, but we have very big ambitions. We’ve worked on some of the biggest titles in gaming, such as League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics, and now we’re aiming to change the way people play their favorite social games together. 

We’re a team aligned on our mission of changing social games, and we believe that games are a powerful tool for bringing people and communities closer together. We’re all self-driven toward that goal, which allows us to stay small and scrappy. We don’t have managers in the traditional sense, so we’re looking for someone who sees this opportunity more as a partnership and less as a transactional relationship.
