Aequus Play lets players compete in skill-based events for real rewards, XP, and bragging rights. The platform is built and launching soon and now, we’re looking for a Full Stack Developer to join us post-launch as we enter the next phase: growth, feature expansion, and real-time optimisation.

This is a rare opportunity to shape the evolution of a live gaming product from day one of public release.

• Build and optimise real-time multiplayer features (e.g. chat, lobbies, in-game events)
• Collaborate on game integrations, player progression systems, and social features
• Drive improvements in platform stability, speed, and user experience
• Contribute to technical strategy and product direction as we grow

What You Bring

• Strong experience with Next.js, Node.js, and AWS (Lambda, DynamoDB, etc.)
• Proven ability to build and refine real-time systems (WebSockets, Firebase, or custom solutions)
• Backend expertise: REST APIs, authentication, scalable data handling
• Frontend skills to create intuitive, high-performance UIs
• A deep passion for gaming, competition, and building community-driven platforms

Bonus Points

• Experience working on live or multiplayer platforms
• Familiarity with game engine integration
• Exposure to anti-cheat systems, payments, or XP/leveling mechanics
• Personal gaming projects, mods, or custom server development

Aequus Play is built and launching soon. Join us at the start of our journey to help scale the platform, build exciting features, and redefine competitive gaming.
