Principal Frontend Engineer

At MSquared, we’re shaping virtual worlds of unprecedented scale for the gaming, web3, and related sectors, developing technologies with the potential to redefine the future. This is an opportunity to work on meaningful problems no one else is solving, in a space that is evolving rapidly.

The Role

As a Frontend-focused Full Stack Software Engineer, you will play a key role in launching and scaling a fast-moving product team. You will help to drive the development of new features across our product suite, take ownership of technical direction and product discovery, and shape the future of our platform.

You will join a collaborative, cross-functional team of friendly, adaptable, creative, and product-minded engineers who are passionate about building high-quality, user-centric software that delivers real impact.

Your Opportunity

• Shape the vision and strategy of our products by contributing to the roadmap and acting as a sounding board for technical leadership.

• Collaborate with product specialists, full-stack and infrastructure engineers to develop and maintain services in production.

• Design and implement user-facing features using React and modern Web technologies, ensuring smooth and intuitive user experiences.

• Engage with stakeholders to understand user needs, define requirements, and develop practical, scalable solutions.

• Experiment with and advocate for new systems, design patterns, and tooling; advocate for continuous improvement and best practices.

• Contribute to the team strategy, tooling, process, and culture.

We're Looking For

• Proven software development experience, including building and maintaining user-facing production systems.

• Frontend expertise, with deep understanding of React (ideally with Next.js) and responsive UI design.

• Strong UI architecture skills, with the ability to apply design patterns to build simple, reusable components for complex interfaces.

• Solid computer science fundamentals, including familiarity with data structures, algorithms, profiling, and performance optimization.

• Attention to code quality, with a focus on simplicity, performance, and detail.

• Skilled in prototyping and rapid iteration, comfortable delivering solutions quickly, iterating based on feedback, and evolving features to maximise impact.

• Cloud technologies know-how: hands-on experience with cloud technologies (ideally GCP, but equivalent experience with AWS or Azure is also acceptable) and designing clear, maintainable APIs.

• Relevant industry experience: any experience working in a game engine-focused business or on similar products is a strong plus.

While we think the above experience is important, we’re very keen to hear from people who believe they have valuable experience to bring to this role. If you identify with the team and mission, but not all of our requirements, then please still apply.
