Senior Frontend Engineer, LiveOps

It's an exciting time to join Tactile. We're a diverse team of storytellers, puzzle enthusiasts and casual mobile game creators. Our story began in 2008 in the heart of beautiful Copenhagen, and since then we have experienced continuous growth, establishing ourselves as one of the largest gaming companies in Denmark. In more recent years, we have been scaling fast, in big part thanks to the success of a little game called Lily's Garden. Now we're on a mission to solidify our position as one of the leaders in creating out-of-the-ordinary casual puzzle games.

With more than 350 talented individuals, we are a mix of over 55 nationalities and 43% women. We truly appreciate the richness of different experiences and perspectives that Tactilers bring to the game. This is why we foster a lean organisational culture, in which each individual is encouraged to take responsibility, be open and grow in their own way. We pride ourselves in cultivating a studio environment that stays away from crunch, that fosters your skills no matter what your discipline is, and one that gives you a place to be creative alongside other passionate and invested storytellers.

Your role & impact:

We are currently growing our Core team and are looking for an experienced Senior Frontend Engineer to join the talented developers who build our frontend systems and internal tools.

The Core team at Tactile is responsible for building a variety of in-house solutions, which are used to manage our live game (LiveOps), marketing, and data operations. Different teams within the business use these tools and platforms to evaluate and improve their day-to-day operations.

Your impact on the team's success will be that you will help to keep the UI of our internal tools in line with the company's standards and, ultimately, drive more people to use them. You will work closely with other frontenders, backenders, and product designers to spearhead the integration of our new dashboard designs, enhance our design system, and fine-tune our internal services.

Our web platform's frontend is written in React, following our style guide and a components library we are still developing. The backend is written in Node.js, and we use the Express web framework connected to a MongoDB database. We run on GCP, connecting our services through message queues. We write all our code in Typescript.

We always put quality first here. If you're a developer who knows how to set up a robust software architecture, loves to follow good coding practices (such as unit testing), and create efficient workflows, then you might be our missing piece!

This role is based in our Copenhagen office. Please note that we cannot offer relocation support or visa sponsorship for this role.

Okay, let's get a little bit more specific. Here's what you'll be doing on the day-to-day:

• Implementing new features and tools for our LiveOps dashboards
• Making high-quality UI components
• Maintaining the existing code base
• Taking over responsibility from implementation to deployment
• Bring up your own ideas to shape our product, and actively search for requests and feedback from the product team
• Peer code reviews
• Digging around the backend code (if needed)

To keep it short & sweet, as a part of our Core team, you'll be working with a modern stack:

• TypeScript & React.js (as our main language and frameworks)
• MaterialUI
• Jest
• Node.js & Express.js
• GCP
• Docker & Kubernetes
• CircleCI
• PostgreSQL & MongoDB
• ... and more!

We do not expect you to know everything about this stack (we're not looking for unicorns), but you should be open to and comfortable learning new technologies.

Practices & principles we cannot live without:

• Clean coding practices
• Code reviews
• OOP
• SOLID & DRY principles
• Test-driven development (TDD) & unit testing
• Dependency Injection

... and we just finished reading Refactoring UI in our Book Club.

Don't worry if you haven't had a chance to work with these yet. Learning about how we structure our code will be part of your onboarding process.

What we're looking for:

• Extensive experience (5+ years) with modern frontend development, particularly React and TypeScript
• Strong skills in building reusable UI components and design-system-driven development (e.g., Material UI or similar)
• Experience with modern testing practices (unit testing, Jest, TDD) and a quality-first mindset
• Knowledge of clean coding practices and principles (OOP, SOLID, DRY, dependency injection)
• Experience working in cross-functional teams (frontend, backend, product design) and participating in code reviews
• Ability to take ownership from implementation to deployment and contribute to product shaping

What's in it for you?

Beautiful office space with probably the best view in Copenhagen
Pension and private health insurance
A chance to work with the latest tools and technology
Opportunities for individual growth with development talks as well as workshops, books, and courses
Daily, healthy organic breakfast and lunch prepared by our professional chefs in-house

Free Danish lessons with our in-house Danish teacher
