1. Senior Application Developer (React + Composable Commerce)

We're hiring a senior dev (8+ yrs) to lead projects, mentor juniors, and build scalable apps end-to-end. Stack: React (Redux/Context), C#/.NET, microservices, headless commerce (CommerceTools, ContentStack), NoSQL + relational DBs, event streaming, TDD. You'll turn messy business requirements into solid technical solutions and help shape our architecture. Bonus: WMS experience. Apply if you like leading, mentoring, and shipping.

2. QA Engineer

We're hiring a QA Engineer to own quality across our suite of connected web applications and the shared services between them. You'll mix hands-on manual/exploratory testing with building and maintaining automated suites (end-to-end, integration, component), with a big focus on the seams between apps: navigation, shared auth, data hand-offs, and micro-frontend integrations. You'll own the full bug lifecycle, wire tests into CI/CD as reliable quality gates, and partner with product and engineering to build testability in from the start.

Ideal fit: 3+ years in QA testing web apps, across both manual and automated testing with modern frameworks (Playwright, Selenium) and unit/component tooling (Jest, Vitest). Comfortable testing SPAs and REST APIs, with enough JavaScript/TypeScript to write and debug test code. Bonus points for React, Vite, monorepos, micro-frontends, GitHub Actions. Above all, a user-focused mindset — catching problems before customers do.

3. Senior DevOps Engineer

We're hiring a Senior DevOps Engineer to standardize application deployments, containerization, and release processes across our org. You'll build shared CI/CD pipelines, containerize apps with Docker/Kubernetes, and create the tooling and golden paths that let teams ship reliably. Ideal fit: solid experience with CI/CD (GitHub Actions/GitLab CI/Jenkins), IaC (Terraform/Helm), and cloud providers (AWS/Azure), plus a track record of driving standardization at scale. Pragmatic, collaborative, and motivated by making other teams more productive.

Colonist (colonist.io) is a multiplayer board game platform. ~20 people, millions of monthly players, no middle management between you and the product.

You'll own features end-to-end and ship to a live player base within days. Right now we're evolving the core experience and building toward a multi-game platform. The mission is to become the internet's biggest board game platform.

This role is a good fit if you: want to see your work matter at real scale without a large team around you, are comfortable with ambiguity and don't need someone to define your tasks, and use AI tools as a genuine multiplier in your workflow.

This isn't a good fit if you: prefer a larger team with specialists for every layer, or are looking for a role with clearly scoped tickets.
