Phaser Studio is hiring!

We have the following positions open as of 22nd March 2024.

Front-end Web Developer (Short-term Role)

Phaser Studio is looking for a freelance professional front-end developer to help work with our team on the Phaser website and related products.

Duties / Responsibilities

• Use your extensive knowledge of HTML / CSS to craft the front end of the Phaser website.
• Merge your frontend code with our Laravel Blade Templates. Support will be given to get our Docker based environment running for you.
• Work with Photoshop PSDs from our designers and extract the layers and assets from them as needed, in order to construct the page headers and other graphically rich elements.
• Use your experience and website design skills to create beautiful page layouts, forms, UIs and other components. We do not expect any illustration work, but you should be capable of structuring clean designs.
• Create a set of standard page templates and related elements to help us achieve consistency across all parts of the site.
• Ensure the site scales smoothly across desktop and mobile resolutions.
• Make forward-planning structural choices to allow for continued expansion of the site across multiple new products and designs.
• You will work alongside our Senior Laravel Developer, who will assist you in getting set-up and explaining the project structure.

About this role

• We are looking for a minimum commitment of at least 1 month. We expect you to be fully dedicated to this role during that time. The role is very likely to extend beyond the initial month.
• The Phaser site uses a mixture of Tailwind and Bootstrap CSS. You are free to suggest the direction we take with regard to a CSS framework, if any.
• We do not use any front-end frameworks (React, Vue, etc) and are not looking to implement them. However, for specific user flows, they may make sense. You will advise on this as required.
• Although we have a lot of complex backend systems that rely on our use of Laravel, we do not expect you to need to do any PHP development as part of this role.
• Your understanding of CSS should be current and modern. We are a game development site and the designs for our new site are fun and engaging, with lots of potential for animation and effects via both CSS and JS.
• You are expected to use and share your own creative vision whilst working within our structure and brand design.
• You must be comfortable conversing in English during video calls. We don't have them often (weekly at most)

To apply

Please email jobs@phaser.io with all of the following:

• Your portfolio - this must include recent examples of sites you have worked on. Please state if you were responsible for the design.
• Your country of residence.
• Your expected monthly rate in US Dollars.
• How soon could you start?
• If we require your services for longer than 1 month, will this be possible, or do you already have significant other work/holidays booked?

No agencies! We already have our own.
