Full Stack Engineer
Medior / Senior
Are you a skilled Full Stack Engineer with a passion for games? We’re looking for a medior or senior engineer to help scale and enhance our web game Horse Reality, ensuring its long-term growth and technical stability.
Who Are We?
Studio Deloryan is the game studio that created the browser management game: Horse Reality. Currently, the game has 8k daily and 20k monthly active players. Built from scratch, we’re now migrating to Laravel with a focus on scalable microservices. We value a culture of autonomy, collaboration and continuous improvement, always keeping our KPIs and player experience in focus.
Who Are We Looking For?
You'll play an important role in scaling Horse Reality, and ensuring security, performance, and stability. As part of a small team, it’s essential to prioritise wisely. You know when to polish details and when to focus on speed and iteration to keep things moving.
We work towards clear goals, and you’ll help make the right technical decisions to balance efficiency and quality. If something isn’t working as expected, you should feel comfortable adjusting course rather than holding onto ideas that don’t deliver results. You’ll have the autonomy to explore solutions, but always with the bigger picture in mind: Building a game that grows, performs well, and keeps players engaged.
