About the Role

You will own our Flutter companion app, the primary product our players engage with, and contribute significantly as a backend developer for our Node/TypeScript + MongoDB systems. You will also maintain our gaming web platform and integrations, working closely with the Senior Game Developer to ensure platform reliability and evolvability. AI-accelerated workflows will be used to increase shipping speed and reduce manual effort.

Responsibilities

Own our Flutter companion app end-to-end: architecture, features, releases and quality
Build and ship a growing library of daily games (in Flame, Unity or similar), backed by clean REST APIs
Integrate APIs, authentication, analytics, push notifications, in-app purchases and crash reporting
Continuously improve UX, performance, stability and release process across iOS and Android
Maintain and extend our Node/TypeScript + MongoDB backend
Build and evolve APIs and admin functionality that support our apps
Integrate third-party services: Shopify, payments, email, analytics
Keep data handling clean, secure and pragmatic; comfortable owning most backend problems independently
Maintain and make light updates to our Next.js/React web platform
Support login, redemption flows and features tied to game launches and promotions
Use AI tools daily to speed up coding, refactoring and testing
Build reusable prompt patterns and workflows
Reduce human workload through smart automation
Balance speed with sound engineering judgement

Requirements

Strong, demonstrable Flutter/Dart experience: able to own a production app independently
Solid backend experience with Node.js/TypeScript, MongoDB and API development
Experience integrating third-party services (e.g. Shopify, payments, auth)
Confidence using AI tools to accelerate development
Pragmatic engineering judgement: you know when "good and shipped" beats "perfect"
React/Next.js experience (enough to maintain a stable web codebase)
Cloud deployment experience (Google Cloud / Docker / CI/CD)
Firebase, mobile analytics, in-app purchases or push notifications
E-commerce / login & user-account systems
Working in small, product-led teams
Building games in Flame in your spare time: bonus points if you can share samples or a portfolio
Game development in Unity or other engines
Real-time or multiplayer game networking (Socket.IO, Photon or similar)

About the Company

Big Potato’s purpose is to Light Up the Moments We Spend Together. Our games are easy-to-learn, laughter-first games that are played by millions of people around the world. Despite being better connected than ever before, quality time together is increasingly rare. Our games bring people together in a way only a good game can.
We have a team that’s ambitious, creative and committed to making brilliant games and shaking things up in the category. And we believe in doing it the right way. We’re bothered about our People, our Customers, our Consumers and the Planet. We’re B-Corp Certified and consistently achieve high Great scores in our employee NPS surveys.
We’re one of the UK’s fastest-growing games companies, and as we scale globally we’re rebuilding our finance and operational infrastructure from the ground up, moving away from legacy ERP systems toward a modern, modular, AI-enabled stack.

Equal Opportunity

We are committed to building brilliant teams that reflect a wide range of backgrounds, perspectives and experiences, and we strongly encourage applications from underrepresented groups. Research shows that people from underrepresented backgrounds are less likely to apply unless they meet every requirement, so if this role excites you, don’t worry about ticking every single box. At Big Potato, we care more about potential, attitude and fresh thinking than a perfect CV.
