About Hacksaw Studios

Hacksaw Studios creates online games that run in both social and real-money modes, played by millions of people worldwide each month. To support our expanding technical landscape, we’re looking for a Client Platform Developer to join our Stockholm team.

This position focuses on primarily client-side work—building and maintaining a range of web-based products and tools, from in-game UI and back-office systems to our round-replay system and integration frameworks. However, you may occasionally work on back-end tasks as well. You’ll be part of a small but growing team that spans multiple domains, ensuring our platform remains robust, scalable, and user-friendly for both internal teams and third-party partners.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Develop and Maintain: Work on core web-based products such as our in-game UI and back-office systems.
• Integration & Collaboration: Manage client-side integrations of our games with various external platforms and support third-party studios building on our OpenRGS platform. Collaborate with back-end teams to align integration strategies with our broader platform architecture.
• Tooling & Automation: Create and maintain help-tools (e.g., scripts for changelog generation, mock clients, game launchers) to optimize workflows across different departments.
• Technical Support: Provide expertise and troubleshooting for platform-related issues, working closely with developers, QA, and customer support teams.
• UX & Visual Detail: Contribute to user-friendly interfaces and ensure a polished look and feel for our products. A good understanding of UX and a keen eye for design are preferred.

What We’re Looking For

• Proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript or a similar language. (Experience with Haxe, our main client-side language, is a plus but not mandatory.)
• Strong Understanding of Web Technologies: Familiarity with browser APIs, cross-origin communication (e.g., postMessage, CORS, WebSockets), and third-party service integrations.
• Debugging & Problem-Solving Skills: Experience using browser DevTools, Postman (or similar tools), and a structured approach to identifying and resolving issues.
• Communication Skills: Ability to articulate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Service-Minded & Proactive: Comfortable owning problems, driving solutions, and collaborating with diverse teams.

Bonus Points:

• Experience with Git, TypeScript, Linux, bash, npm, Bun, Docker, Cucumber, GitLab, and AWS.
• Experience working with web-related C#.

If you’re a skilled web developer with a passion for building and integrating we’d love to hear from you!
