Student Frontend Web Developer
We'd love to offer you a chance to learn theoretical and practical lessons while at work. So as to turn this experience in an opportunity to work full-time with us after completing your studies.
Shape Games is an award-winning digital b2b platform and service provider for the iGaming industry (sportsbetting & casino products).
We operate across Europe, North America and South America with our native omni-channel frontend platform, alongside our agnostic control panel that makes operations and integration of providers simple, quick and cost effective.
The module-based solution is state-of-the-art and tested at scale with a number of market leading clients.
Will you be the next colleague to join us on this exciting journey? Sharing your knowledge with the rest of us and learn from us in return? We'd be following together the newest technology trends and have fun along the way.
Some of the things we look for:
• A reasonably strong background in building web applications and proficiency in React. Having worked with another front end framework might also be helpful.
• Very good knowledge and understanding of JavaScript. Even better having experience with TypeScript as well.
• Direct experience with serverside technologies, serverside rendering and API design.
• Proficient understanding of cross-browser compatibility issues and ways to work around such issues.
• Motivation to become a part of, and learn from a team of experienced and passionate developers for web, iOS and Android.
• Interest in design patterns and well-structured code and workflows.
As our Student Frontend Web Developer, you will
• get an experienced mentor who will help you learn everything you need at an accelerated pace. The vast majority of student developers who graduated have decided to continue their careers in Shape Games as a full-time engineer.
• be expected to work between 15 and 20 hours per week on average. Each semester we plan how the work can fit with your university schedule.
• join one of the cross-platforms engineering teams, each one having a size of 6 to 10 people.
• spend time with all other Web team members - usually an afternoon once a week - building some experimental tools they think can benefit the team or the entire organisation.
• be able to operate in an open, inspiring and trust-based environment, where your voice will be heard in matters concerning your team.
• participate in the creation of scalable software.
• join us in achieving the best user experience using some of the newest technologies. These are ever changing, but some keywords that have been around with us for a while include TypeScript, React, and Next.js.
• contribute to expand our modular architecture, with packages that can be combined to create highly customisable sportsbetting apps.
