    Job Description

    Why this role exists:

    At GOG, we build for gamers who care about preservation, community, and nostalgia. Our mission is bold: make games live forever - and that requires seamless, modern experiences that resonate with today’s players while staying true to GOG’s identity.

    Our frontend challenge is twofold: maintaining and evolving established Store and Galaxy codebases to ensure performance and reliability, while building a modern, unified foundation that brings community and preservation features to life for millions of gamers.

    This role isn’t only about shipping new code - it’s about bridging past and future: keeping current platforms strong and dependable, while modernizing them to support the next generation of GOG experiences.

    What success looks like in the first 6–12 months:

    • Deliver performant and maintainable frontend features in Angular that enhance community and preservation experiences (Dreamlist engagement, user-generated content).
    • Have a direct voice in product decisions – shaping not just how things are built, but what gets built to best serve our mission and community.
    • Drive measurable improvements in how players engage with preservation and community features, through smoother, faster, and more accessible frontend experiences.
    • Apply the scout rule: consistently leave the codebase cleaner, more efficient, and easier to maintain as you work on new features.
    • Strengthen collaboration with backend and product teams by helping define clear, practical interfaces and workflows that reduce complexity in day-to-day development.
    • Contribute to the evolution and consistency of our existing design system by building reusable, high-quality components aligned with it.

    Key challenges you’ll tackle:

    • Preservation projects: craft features that activate and celebrate “Make Games Live Forever.”
    • Finest Editions & Preservation Program: support unique GOG editions and restoration efforts with compelling, reliable frontends.
    • User-Generated Content: enable players to contribute knowledge, reviews, and value to the community.
    • Store ↔ Galaxy continuity: help experiences feel connected and consistent across surfaces.
    • Manage and iteratively reduce technical debt while balancing delivery of new, modern solutions.

    How we work (our values):

    • Play to Win – Define success, move fast, set a high bar.
    • Navigate the Fog – Don’t wait for perfect clarity: try, learn, adapt.
    • Step Up or Team Up – Lead by action and collaboration.
    • (Re)Master Your Game – Own your growth and share what you learn.
    • Leave Your Mark – Build things that last.

    Responsibilities:

    What you’ll do day-to-day

    • Build and optimize Angular features for community and preservation initiatives (Dreamlist, User Generated Content).
    • Use data and experiments (A/B tests, analytics) to validate impact and prioritize smartly.
    • Collaborate closely with backend, product, and design - shaping not just how we build, but what we build to best serve our mission and community.
    • Own feature delivery end-to-end: technical discovery, implementation, code review, instrumentation, and iteration.
    • Maintain and evolve existing projects: debug, de-risk, and refactor legacy layers without disrupting the player experience.
    • Share knowledge, mentor, and raise the bar for frontend craft and product thinking.

    • Comfortable with experimentation (A/B testing, analytics) and fast, iterative delivery.

    • Deep expertise in frontend plus curiosity to grow beyond it—whether that’s product discovery, backend collaboration, data, or design.
