• Build interactive 2D/3D experiences using Babylon.js / PlayCanvas (or similar WebGL/WebGPU engines).
• Integrate with backend APIs and databases; ensure performance and code quality.
• Lead 2–3 developers (if needed): code review, mentoring, technical decision-making.

Presale

• Prepare technical parts of commercial proposals: tech stack, architecture concepts, risks, assumptions.
• Provide effort estimates (high-level, ballpark, breakdown by modules/features).
• Join client calls as a technical expert, answer solution and feasibility questions.
• Create small prototypes / PoC for demos when needed.

• Frontend: TypeScript, modern framework (preferably React), experience with Babylon.js / PlayCanvas or similar.
• Backend: Node.js (Express / NestJS or similar), REST/GraphQL APIs.
• Databases: relational and/or NoSQL (e.g. PostgreSQL, MongoDB).
• Experience with modern code automation tools (e.g. Cursor, AI-assisted coding, code search/refactor tools) and willingness to actively use them to speed up delivery and improve quality.

• 3+ years of commercial web development (front + back), including experience as a Tech Lead / Lead Developer.
• Proven experience with browser-based graphics (games, simulations, 3D/2D visualizations).
• Experience in task and effort estimation, participation in presales or discovery phases.
• Strong communication skills: able to explain technical decisions to non-technical stakeholders.
• English: confident for calls, demos, and written communication with clients.

• Direct impact — you will influence architectural decisions, technology choices, and presale strategies.
• Hybrid role (Delivery + Presale) — ideal for developers who want to stay hands-on but also grow into a solution architect / tech lead with customer-facing responsibilities.
• Opportunities for growth — evolve into Solution Architect, Delivery Lead, or even Engineering Manager depending on your strengths and interests.
• Variety of projects — from commercial web applications to interactive 3D experiences, prototypes, and technical PoCs.
• Modern workflows — access to AI-assisted development tools, automation solutions, and efficient internal processes.
• Flexibility — remote-friendly setup, flexible working hours, and an outcome-oriented culture.
