React Native Game Developer

About Jackpot Technologies

What You Will Do

• Build casino games end to end in React Native and TypeScript: game loop, rendering, state, math integration, and UI.
• Bring mechanics to life with precise timing and feel, from slot reels and multiplier curves to card, dice, and wheel games.
• Build the juice with Reanimated, Skia, and GL: win animations, particle FX, screen transitions, and big-win celebrations.
• Integrate game math, RNG, and real-time outcomes from our backend, with deterministic, verifiable results.
• Hit 60fps on a wide range of devices. Profile with Hermes, eliminate bridge bottlenecks, and optimize render, memory, and bundle size.
• Implement responsive layouts across portrait and landscape, phone and tablet, with multi-language and multi-currency support.
• Drive custom rendering with react-native-skia, react-native-game-engine, or GL / WebGL when the standard view tree is not enough.
• Partner with artists, animators, designers, and backend so each game ships as one polished piece.
• Build reusable systems and a shared game framework so the next title ships faster.

What You Will Bring

• 3+ years building production mobile apps or games, with strong React Native and TypeScript depth and titles you have shipped to both stores.
• A strong grasp of game loops, frame timing, and rendering performance.
• Hands-on custom rendering: react-native-skia, Reanimated 3, react-native-game-engine, or GL / WebGL.
• Animation chops: Reanimated and Gesture Handler, Rive or Lottie, and skeletal animation (Spine) a plus.
• Solid architecture and state management (Redux Toolkit, Zustand, or similar) that scales across many titles.
• Performance profiling (Flipper, Hermes), and awareness of the new architecture (Fabric and TurboModules).
• Real-time integration: websockets, deterministic outcomes, and graceful reconnection.
• A real respect for timing. You can explain why your 18-frame easing feels better than the 12-frame version.
• Fluent with modern AI coding tools (Copilot, Claude, Cursor) in your daily workflow. You use them to move faster without sacrificing quality or control.
• A fast, reliable production cadence. You plan your work, hit your dates, and do not leave messes for the next person.
• Bonus points
• Built slot or casino games before, and understand RTP, volatility, and certification constraints.
• Game math, RNG, or remote game server (RGS) integration experience.
• Deep Skia, GL, or shader work in React Native.
• Native iOS (Swift) or Android (Kotlin) modules when you need to drop down a layer.
• Unity or another game engine in your background.
• Sound-led animation instincts. You animate to audio and it shows.
• Built a shared game framework or design system that sped up a whole team.
• Tools you will work with

Often

How We Work

• We care equally about quality and velocity.
• The best people in our team use modern tools as a multiplier, not a shortcut.
• AI has changed how great engineering teams operate, and we expect everyone we hire to be on the front edge of that change.
• Fluent with AI tools as part of your daily craft. You know which tools help, which do not, and when a hand-written solution still wins.
• Stay on top of the ecosystem. New SDK versions, new patterns, new tooling. You read, you try things, you do not wait for someone to tell you the platform moved.
• Use that fluency to ship higher quality work faster, not to cut corners. Craft comes first. AI is the lever, not the product.
• Share what you learn. If you find a workflow that saves the team two days a week, write it up.
• Why you might like it here
• You ship real games to real players, not pitch decks. Our titles run live with operators worldwide, so your work reaches actual players fast.
• We are early. You will have real ownership of how our games are built and real influence on the tech and the feel.
• We do not believe in slide-deck culture. If you like building more than meeting, you will fit.
• Dubai base, international team, healthy pace. We work hard, we deliver, we go home.

Compensation And Benefits

• Monthly salary: AED 12,000 to AED 20,000, dependent on experience
• A key role in a fast-moving, fast-growing iGaming company where your work ships and real players see it
• A collaborative engineering environment where your contributions have direct, visible impact
• On-site in Dubai with a small, craft-obsessed team
