Senior Product Engineer (Frontend)
Why this role exists
At GOG, we build for gamers who care about preservation, community, and nostalgia. Our mission is bold: make games live forever - and that requires seamless, modern experiences that resonate with today’s players while staying true to GOG’s identity.
Our frontend challenge is twofold: maintaining and evolving established Store and Galaxy codebases to ensure performance and reliability, while building a modern, unified foundation that brings community and preservation features to life for millions of gamers.
This role isn’t only about shipping new code - it’s about bridging past and future: keeping current platforms strong and dependable, while modernizing them to support the next generation of GOG experiences.
What success looks like in the first 6–12 months
Deliver performant and maintainable frontend features in Angular that enhance community and preservation experiences (Dreamlist engagement, user-generated content).
Have a direct voice in product decisions – shaping not just how things are built, but what gets built to best serve our mission and community.
Drive measurable improvements in how players engage with preservation and community features, through smoother, faster, and more accessible frontend experiences.
Apply the scout rule: consistently leave the codebase cleaner, more efficient, and easier to maintain as you work on new features.
Strengthen collaboration with backend and product teams by helping define clear, practical interfaces and workflows that reduce complexity in day-to-day development.
Contribute to the evolution and consistency of our existing design system by building reusable, high-quality components aligned with it.
Key challenges you’ll tackle
Preservation projects: craft features that activate and celebrate “Make Games Live Forever.”;
Finest Editions & Preservation Program: support unique GOG editions and restoration efforts with compelling, reliable frontends;
User-Generated Content: enable players to contribute knowledge, reviews, and value to the community
Store ↔ Galaxy continuity**: help experiences feel connected and consistent across surfaces.
Manage and iteratively reduce technical debt while balancing delivery of new, modern solutions.
