About Astrocade

Astrocade is a UGC gaming platform where anyone can turn an idea into a playable, shareable game in days, not months. Think YouTube, but for games. We’ve grown to more than 20 million users within just a few months of launch, and we’re only getting started. Backed by Sequoia, NVIDIA, and Google, Astrocade was founded by Amir Sadeghian (Stanford PhD), Ali Sadeghian (Ex-Google Research), and Fei-Fei Li (Godmother of AI). We’re building the infrastructure for a new era of interactive entertainment.

About the Role

Games are more engaging, more meaningful, and more fun than passive content — and we think everyone should be able to make them. As a Frontend Member of Technical Staff (MTS), you’ll help make that a reality. You’ll own the creation and play experiences that millions of users touch every day, working at the intersection of product intuition, AI-generated content, and consumer-grade polish. This is a small, dense team: you won’t be maintaining someone else’s system — you will be shaping how the platform feels.

What You’ll Do

  • Build and own core user-facing features across the creation and discovery experiences

  • Work closely with AI/systems engineers to surface complex, AI-generated content in ways that feel fast, intuitive, and delightful

  • Make opinionated calls on UX — we care about taste, not just correctness

  • Optimize for performance at real consumer scale (tens of millions of users, high-frequency play sessions)

  • Contribute to frontend architecture decisions and uphold high code quality standards

You’d Be a Great Fit If You:

  • Have 3–6+ years of frontend experience (ideally on consumer products)

  • Are fluent in React and TypeScript, and have strong opinions about their use

  • Have built products where experience quality was central to the product

  • Have worked on data-rich or real-time UIs (feeds, game rendering, dashboards, etc.)

  • Are self-directed and work independently from idea to shipped product

Bonus Points:

  • Experience with WebGL, canvas, or game rendering

  • Experience on high-growth consumer platforms (Instagram, TikTok, Roblox, YouTube)

  • Familiarity with recommendation-driven feed UIs

Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive base salary plus equity

  • Health, dental, and vision coverage

  • Lunch provided daily

Join us to help build the future of interactive entertainment!

Perks & benefits

  • Vision Insurance
  • Equity Compensation
