The posting

Role Overview

Skeleton Crew is a new company formed by games industry veterans.

We are building a group of games companies and are big believers in the power of small teams. The role of our group team is to support and empower the teams in their companies to do their best work.

We’re looking for a Software Engineer to help in that mission by building internal tools to make the entire company more effective.

We believe it’s now possible for small teams like ours to build sophisticated, bespoke internal tools that wouldn’t have been possible a year ago. We want to eliminate repetitive, manual tasks and create new workflows powered by technology to enable each person to focus on how they can uniquely contribute to the group.

Key Responsibilities

  • Work closely with internal teams. Understand how people work, what is blocking them or eating up their time.
  • Prioritise opportunities. Assess potential projects based on impact and effort.
  • Rapidly prototype. Validate an approach and get feedback through quick prototypes rather than design docs.
  • Connect and build on top of other systems. We don’t want to solve every problem ourselves. If a problem can be solved by building a thin layer on top of an off-the-shelf product, that’s the approach we should take.
  • Own quality. You’ll be a team of one, responsible for deciding what to build, how to build it and ensuring it works well.
  • Apply AI where it adds value. Using a mix of coding agents to build software, integrating AI into solutions and creating agentic workflows.

Examples of what you might build

  • Data pipelines that bring together data from a range of sources to help us make better decisions about our games, such as sales data or player feedback from reviews or social channels.
  • Tools that support our game development teams, from helping teams organise to coordinating public playtests or helping automate releases across lots of different platforms.
  • Automating internal processes such as employee onboarding, travel and event organisation.

Requirements

  • Software development experience, with evidence of owning projects end to end.
  • The ability to turn ambiguous business needs into working solutions.
  • Clear communication with technical and non-technical colleagues.
  • Specific tech stack experience is not essential; however, experience with the following is preferred:
  • TypeScript, React, and JavaScript backend frameworks
  • Building and running apps on Cloudflare
  • A strong understanding of agentic software development.

Benefits

Our benefits include a 2-week company summer break and a 2-week winter break to rest and recharge, in addition to your normal holiday allowance.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
