Senior Full-Stack UI Engineer (remote / onsite)

Role description

We are focused on creating a state-of-the-art, real-time, soft-body physics engine and making it widely available for entertainment and simulation purposes. Our most widely known product is our game BeamNG.drive , which is now available on Steam in Early Access.

In order to support our ongoing and future development plans, we are seeking an experienced Senior Full-Stack UI Engineer with a focus on Vue3 and Lua for our development team, who will support us in finishing the game.

Why this role exists

We are in the process of enhancing and modernizing our in-game user interface. This interface utilizes web technologies within the game, all while adhering to "game-like" limitations, including real-time data handling, stringent responsiveness standards, enduring session durations, and diverse input / navigation methods beyond just mouse and keyboard.

We seek a senior engineer with a strong foundation in web fundamentals (such as browser and renderer behavior, JavaScript runtime, and performance) who can communicate effectively and dependably within a small team.

Technologies and tools you will engage with (overview)

• Frontend : Vue 3 SFCs using Composition API, JavaScript, SCSS.
• UI “backend” : Lua extensions are the source of truth. UI should mostly render and forward user intent.
• Realtime data : discrete events + high-frequency data streams (telemetry) for frequent / authoritative updates.
• Input & navigation : scoped navigation and gamepad / keyboard-first UI, backed by engine input bindings (ActionMaps).
• Bridge layer : a JS↔engine bridge used for calling Lua, receiving hooks / events, and managing stream subscriptions.
