Senior Full-Stack Engineer (US, Remote)

About us

Backgammon.com is building the largest online backgammon community. Not just a place for competitive players, but the home for everyone who plays: people learning the game, casual players, and serious competitors alike. One place to play, learn, improve, compete, and connect. We are a small, senior team that ships quickly and owns what we build.

What you’ll do

• Build player-facing features, leading on the frontend and working through the full stack
• Shape the frontend architecture and raise the quality bar as the product grows
• Work on real-time, interactive experiences: live games, matchmaking, presence, analysis
• Ship well-tested, polished features and own them in production
• Partner closely with product and design in a tight, fast feedback loop

Our stack

• Frontend: React, React Native, TypeScript
• Backend: Python, Django, PostgreSQL
• Real-time: WebSockets
• Infrastructure: AWS
• AI-assisted development is part of how we work every day

What we’re looking for

• Senior full-stack experience with real frontend depth: you are at home owning a feature from the interface through to the API and database
• Strong with React and TypeScript; solid with Python/Django
• Experience with real-time or highly interactive products (games, chat, live data) is a strong plus
• A bias for shipping complete, high-quality work fast
• Comfortable with high autonomy on a small team
• Comfortable in a containerized development workflow (Docker)

Nice to have

• Frontend leadership experience: able to own frontend direction and mentor as the team grows
• Background in online games or competitive, real-time products
• You play backgammon, or you want to

Benefits

• 100% remote work
• Competitive salary
• Healthcare
• 401(k) Match
• Unlimited paid time off
• Fun, collaborative culture

Why join us?

• Small team, which will increase in size as we scale operations
• Fully remote, and largely asynchronous. We need a self-directed developer comfortable with autonomy, high standards for code quality, and end-to-end ownership
• Weekly synchronous meetings with the full product, development, and design teams, with additional synchronous meetings as necessary
