About the role

Jackbox Games is a small game studio (~80 people) best known for our Jackbox Party Pack franchise: a set of five social party games released every fall. Since 2014, our games--like Quiplash, Drawful, and Trivia Murder Party--have been featured on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, by Polygon, and in living rooms and finished basements across the world. In 2020, we had over 200 million users. And we have hard evidence that one of those users was Academy Award-winner Charlize Theron. You can learn everything you ever wanted to know about how our games work (spoiler: your phone is the controller!) and who we are and what we make at jackboxgames.com . What is the job? At Jackbox Games, we create unique, social games that bring people together. We're looking for an Entry-Level Front-End Software Engineer who enjoys solving problems, contributing to impactful projects, and growing their abilities through collaboration and feedback. If you're looking to grow by working on real-world challenges, learning how to turn ideas into solutions, and contributing to team success, we want to talk to you. This is not a game development role. What You'll Do Support the development of engineering projects by contributing to well-defined tasks and collaborating with more senior engineers to solve problems. Help build and maintain scalable, high-performance frontend components in Vue.js, with guidance to ensure reliability, maintainability, and test coverage. Learn to estimate tasks with support from your team and deliver solutions within project timelines, while keeping collaborators informed of your progress. Work closely with designers, artists, and engineers to bring player experiences to life and support improvements to development workflows. Contribute clear and helpful technical documentation to support team knowledge sharing and consistency. Grow your engineering skills through code reviews, mentorship, and continuous learning, while contributing to team discussions on improving processes and practices.
