Join us as Senior Node.js Developer on Warhammer 40,000: Supremacy!

At Twin Harbour Interactive we strive to develop high-quality strategy games and make them accessible for all players around the world. In our eyes game development is a promise for fun and entertainment – that’s what we live and aim for!

Innovation is part of our DNA. We actively integrate Artificial Intelligence to reduce repetitive tasks and create space for what really matters: strategic thinking and human connection. We don't just use AI - we look for people who can shape the way we work with it.

We are seeking an experienced Senior Node.js Developer (all genders) to join our team working on a successful Free-to Play (F2P) mobile strategy game.
You will be part of our interdisciplinary team developing, building and running Warhammer 40,000: Supremacy, an ambitious online grand strategy game set in the iconic Warhammer 40k universe. You can expect a professional and international working environment covering a wide scope of technologies and a deep focus on delivering a visually pleasing and technically excellent player experience.

In this role you will be working on both: a legacy PHP backend and new services in Node.js meant as a replacement for the former. The services will be running on a distributed architecture in the Google Cloud. Your work will align with best practices in stability, performance, scalability, security, and maintainability. These services are meta-services handling things such as player-data or live-ops and monetization related information.

Our frontend is a Unity client and it is also connecting to a dedicated Gameserver written in Java.

YOUR MISSION

• Be part of an experienced and passionate engineering team building a flagship title in the Warhammer 40,000 universe.

• Take Ownership for maintaining our legacy central meta-data PHP-service that is heavily used by other stakeholders like game design and monetization.

• Take Ownership of modernizing our meta-data service adopting new Node.js services created by our Web-API team and helping them form this completely new stack.

• Design, develop, test, deploy, maintain, and improve our software with high-quality, maintainable code.

• Work closely with game designers and product leads to implement new features with an interest in learning the complementary full-stack technologies.

• Work closely with an internal team focusing purely on replacing our legacy PHP-service and adopting their work for the Warhammer 40.000 team.

• Create new Node.js services in this eco-system for specialized functionality relevant for the Warhammer 40.000: Supremacy game.

• Contribute high-quality, maintainable Typescript code using a wide range of technologies such as Next.js, Nest.js, Jest, Mocha, Turbopack, Github, Docker, MySQL, Pub/Sub and Redis.

YOUR PROFILE

• You have an engineering mindset and a passion for the craft.

• 7+ years of proven experience in Node.js/Typescript development, demonstrating strong coding and debugging skills.

• Proficiency in popular Node.js/Typescript frameworks such as Next.js, Nest.js, Express.js, and Jest.

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to work effectively in a cross-functional team environment.

• Demonstrated ability to effectively integrate AI tools into development workflows for code generation, debugging, and technical research

• You are at least familiar with PHP.

• You have a proactive attitude towards learning new technologies and improving existing skills, including leaving the comfort zone of your programming language.

• You have experience developing and maintaining multi-server, high-load backend services and APIs.

• Familiarity with SQL and NoSQL databases, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or similar.

• You are enthusiastic about games and ideally strategy games.

Nice-to have skills to impress us

• Passion for the Warhammer 40,000 universe and turn-based or online strategy games or games in general.

• Experience with Hyperscalers like GCP, networking, and debugging distributed systems is a plus.

• Experience working in an agile environment, preferably using Scrum.
