Engineering team — Why this role exists

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

The 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 bridges 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 (e.g. Dreamlist engagement, user-generated content).
• Have a direct voice in product decisions — shaping not just how things are built, but what gets built.
• Drive measurable improvements in player engagement via smoother, faster, and more accessible frontend experiences.
• Apply the scout rule: 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.
• Contribute to the evolution and consistency of the design system by building reusable, high-quality components.

Key challenges you’ll tackle

• Preservation projects to activate and celebrate “Make Games Live Forever”.
• Support Finest Editions & Preservation Program with compelling, reliable frontends.
• Enable user-generated content: allow players to contribute knowledge, reviews and value to the community.
• Improve Store ↔ Galaxy continuity so experiences feel connected across surfaces.
• Manage and iteratively reduce technical debt while delivering modern solutions.

How we work (our values)

• Play to Win – define success, move fast, set a high bar.
• Navigate the Fog – try, learn, adapt without waiting for perfect clarity.
• 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.

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 work.
• Collaborate closely with backend, product, and design — shaping both implementation and product decisions.
• 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 player experience.
• Share knowledge, mentor peers and raise the bar for frontend craft and product thinking.

What will help you succeed — Requirements & Qualifications

• 6+ years in frontend development with strong TypeScript/JavaScript, HTML5 and CSS.
• 2+ years of hands-on Angular experience (other frameworks acceptable but Angular is the stack).
• Experience working in and improving established/legacy codebases while shipping features.
• Understanding of scalable architectures (SSR, modular design; micro frontends a plus).
• Hands-on experience with legacy stacks (AngularJS, Twig) and strong debugging skills.
• Comfortable with Git, CI/CD and agile workflows.
• Strong product sense: empathy for gamers and focus on outcomes.
• Comfortable with experimentation (A/B testing, analytics) and fast iterative delivery.
• Balance short-term fixes with long-term code health; curious to grow beyond frontend into product discovery, backend collaboration, data or design.

Nice to have

• Experience with online community platforms or content contribution features.
• Background with product analytics or experimentation frameworks.
• Active use of AI tools in daily development workflows and enthusiasm to increase team adoption.
• Passion for games and game preservation.

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary: 18 000 - 27 000 PLN / month (competitive, reflects skills and experience).
• Hybrid work model — being in the office at least two days a week is essential.
• Health & wellness perks: private healthcare and sports activity packages.
• Menstrual Leave (paid) for menstruating employees.
• Inclusive & diverse workplace with frequent team events, free coffee/tea/fruit and an in-house cantina.
• 24/7 access to in-house gym; dog-friendly office; free parking on campus.
• Unlimited access to all GOG games (including The Witcher franchise & Cyberpunk 2077).
• Relocation package for applicants moving from abroad.
• Speak Up! Policy and internal transparency resources provided.
