Key Skills for This Role
Responsibilities
- Build casino games end to end in React Native and TypeScript: game loop, rendering, state, math integration, and UI
- Bring mechanics to life with precise timing and feel, from slot reels and multiplier curves to card, dice, and wheel games
- Build the juice with Reanimated, Skia, and GL: win animations, particle FX, screen transitions, and big win celebrations
- Integrate game math, RNG, and real time outcomes from backend with deterministic, verifiable results
- Hit 60fps on a wide range of devices; profile with Hermes, eliminate bridge bottlenecks, optimize render, memory, and bundle size
- Implement responsive layouts across portrait and landscape, phone and tablet, with multi language and multi currency support
- Drive custom rendering with react native skia, react native game engine, or GL/WebGL when standard view tree is not enough
- Partner with artists, animators, designers, and backend so each game ships as one polished piece
- Build reusable systems and a shared game framework so the next title ships faster
Requirements
- 3+ years building production mobile apps or games with strong React Native and TypeScript depth
- Strong grasp of game loops, frame timing, and rendering performance
- Hands on custom rendering with react native skia, Reanimated 3, react native game engine, or GL/WebGL
- Animation experience with Reanimated and Gesture Handler, Rive or Lottie
- Solid architecture and state management (Redux Toolkit, Zustand, or similar)
- Performance profiling (Flipper, Hermes) and awareness of new architecture (Fabric and TurboModules)
- Real time integration: websockets, deterministic outcomes, and graceful reconnection
- Fluent with modern AI coding tools (Copilot, Claude, Cursor) in daily workflow
Full Job Posting
About Jackpot Technologies
- Jackpot Technologies is a fast growing company in the online gaming sector, operating jackpot.studio, a B2B games division that builds in house games and licenses them to casino operators globally.
- The portfolio includes classics like Dice, Blackjack, and Plinko, and originals like Top Dollar, Dr Pump, and Cases.
- We are a small, agile team that moves quickly and takes real pride in our work.
The Role
- Casino games live or die on feel, and on mobile, feel is everything.
- You will build real games in React Native, from the core loop and the reels to the win sequences, the particle FX, and the exact moment a payout lands.
- These are native games we license to operators worldwide, so they have to run buttery smooth on every device, hold a rock solid 60fps, and feel as good as anything in the store.
What you will do
- Build casino games end to end in React Native and TypeScript: game loop, rendering, state, math integration, and UI.
- Bring mechanics to life with precise timing and feel, from slot reels and multiplier curves to card, dice, and wheel games.
- Build the juice with Reanimated, Skia, and GL: win animations, particle FX, screen transitions, and big win celebrations.
- Integrate game math, RNG, and real time outcomes from our backend, with deterministic, verifiable results.
- Hit 60fps on a wide range of devices. Profile with Hermes, eliminate bridge bottlenecks, and optimize render, memory, and bundle size.
- Implement responsive layouts across portrait and landscape, phone and tablet, with multi language and multi currency support.
- Drive custom rendering with react native skia, react native game engine, or GL / WebGL when the standard view tree is not enough.
- Partner with artists, animators, designers, and backend so each game ships as one polished piece.
- Build reusable systems and a shared game framework so the next title ships faster.
What you will bring
- 3+ years building production mobile apps or games, with strong React Native and TypeScript depth and titles you have shipped to both stores.
- A strong grasp of game loops, frame timing, and rendering performance.
- Hands on custom rendering: react native skia, Reanimated 3, react native game engine, or GL / WebGL.
- Animation chops: Reanimated and Gesture Handler, Rive or Lottie, and skeletal animation (Spine) a plus.
- Solid architecture and state management (Redux Toolkit, Zustand, or similar) that scales across many titles.
- Performance profiling (Flipper, Hermes), and awareness of the new architecture (Fabric and TurboModules).
- Real time integration: websockets, deterministic outcomes, and graceful reconnection.
- A real respect for timing. You can explain why your 18 frame easing feels better than the 12 frame version.
- Fluent with modern AI coding tools (Copilot, Claude, Cursor) in your daily workflow.
- A fast, reliable production cadence. You plan your work, hit your dates, and do not leave messes for the next person.
Bonus points
- Built slot or casino games before, and understand RTP, volatility, and certification constraints.
- Game math, RNG, or remote game server (RGS) integration experience.
- Deep Skia, GL, or shader work in React Native.
- Native iOS (Swift) or Android (Kotlin) modules when you need to drop down a layer.
- Unity or another game engine in your background.
- Sound led animation instincts. You animate to audio and it shows.
- Built a shared game framework or design system that sped up a whole team.
Tools you will work with
- Daily: React Native, TypeScript, react native skia, Figma, Git
- Often: Reanimated, Rive, Lottie, REST and websockets, Xcode, Android Studio
- Bonus: Swift, Kotlin, GLSL / WebGL, Unity, Spine
How we work
- We care equally about quality and velocity. The best people in our team use modern tools as a multiplier, not a shortcut.
- Fluent with AI tools as part of your daily craft. You know which tools help, which do not, and when a hand written solution still wins.
- Stay on top of the ecosystem. New SDK versions, new patterns, new tooling.
- Use that fluency to ship higher quality work faster, not to cut corners.
- Share what you learn. If you find a workflow that saves the team two days a week, write it up.
Why you might like it here
- You ship real games to real players, not pitch decks.
- We are early. You will have real ownership of how our games are built and real influence on the tech and the feel.
- We do not believe in slide deck culture. If you like building more than meeting, you will fit.
- Dubai base, international team, healthy pace. We work hard, we deliver, we go home.
Compensation and benefits
- Monthly salary: AED 12,000 to AED 20,000, dependent on experience
- A key role in a fast moving, fast growing iGaming company where your work ships and real players see it
- A collaborative engineering environment where your contributions have direct, visible impact
- On site in Dubai with a small, craft obsessed team
