Required Skills and Qualifications: * Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Game Development, or a related technical field. * 3+ years of professional experience in frontend or game development. * Deep expertise in JavaScript OR TypeScript. * Familiarity with CSS animations and effects * Proven experience with web-based game engines * Good understanding of card game mechanics and the logic required to build deck-based systems. * Expertise in responsive web design and optimizing assets for mobile web performance. * Strong proficiency with version control systems, especially Git. * Experience with asset optimization (texture packing, audio compression) to meet strict file size constraints (e.g., 5MB).
