Backend Game Logic Engineer

I’m building a persistent, browser based strategy MMO. The UI is largely in place, I need an experienced backend engineer to implement the core game engine and logic, strictly following a written specification. This is a logic heavy role, not a UI or design role. What you’ll be responsible for You will implement the backend systems that power the game, including: - Colony state and ownership - Resource production, storage caps, and protection - Build / research / training / shipyard queues (time-based, server-authoritative) - Fleet travel, ETA calculation, and recall windows - Deterministic combat resolution (no RNG) - Colonisation, conquest, and hard anti-griefing rules - Technology effects on units, fleets, and travel - APIs consumed by an existing frontend UI The game is fully deterministic: Given the same inputs, outcomes must always be identical. - Non negotiable constraints Please do not apply if any of these are a problem: - No randomness in combat, travel, or production - No “simplifying” mechanics - No redesigning rules or systems - No adding features that are not in the spec This role is implementation, not interpretation. What I’ll provide - A detailed game design document defining all mechanics - Clear formulas for combat, travel, sensors, queues, and tech - An existing frontend UI to integrate against - Fast feedback and decisions (no stakeholder mess) Tech stack - I’m flexible on stack, but you should be comfortable with: - REST or equivalent API design - Relational data modelling - Time based systems (queues, timers, delayed resolution) - Writing automated tests for deterministic logic Please state: - Your preferred backend stack - How you would test deterministic systems - Deliverables (initial milestone) As a first milestone, I expect: Backend logic + API for: - Colony command screen (timers, resources, queues) - Fleet launch, ETA calculation, recall logic - Active missions list - Basic automated tests validating core formulas - Budget & engagement Open to hourly or milestone based pricing - Looking for quality over speed - Long term work possible if this goes well When applying, briefly describe: - A system you’ve built where correctness mattered more than UX - How you avoid logic drift over time

Upgrade the UI/UX to look modern, clean, and responsive (desktop and mobile). Implement or refine backend APIs (Node/Express) for products, users, and the AI recommendation endpoint. Integrate with the AI API (provided by a separate AI developer) and handle loading states, errors, and results elegantly. Optimize for performance (caching, pagination, image optimization) and basic security best practices. What I Expect From You Strong experience with React, Node.js/Express, MongoDB, and REST APIs. A good eye for UI/UX and ability to implement clean, reusable components. Comfort integrating third‑party or custom APIs into React frontends. Clean Git practices and clear communication.

How you would design the page and flow where users input their info and see AI recommendations. A rough 1–2 week plan (milestones) to refactor the MVP and integrate the AI endpoint. Preferred Qualifications Previous e‑commerce or dashboard projects in MERN (please share links or GitHub). Experience with modern styling solutions (Tailwind CSS, styled‑components, etc.).

We are engaged by a SaaS platform that sells exclusively to businesses and I’m looking to ramp up non-paid acquisition by strengthening SEO. Our client has recently launched an AI tool in competing with tools like Jasper and write sonic. Please visit https://vyndow.com/vyndow-seo.html to know how this tool operates and its benefits. You can sign in for free and use it. The immediate objective is clear: drive a measurable lift in organic traffic.

The focus keywords would be around AI writing, AI SEO, blog generation, content writting etc. Deliverables I’m expecting • A prioritised keyword universe mapped to buyer intent and funnel stage • Page-level on-page recommendations (titles, meta, internal links, copy tweaks) for the core site sections • A concise technical audit highlighting indexation issues, speed problems, schema opportunities and anything else blocking growth • Content briefs or outlines that show how to capture additional opportunity keywords Success will be tracked against traffic uplift, crawl health and ranking movement for the agreed keyword set. If you’re comfortable digging deep into SaaS-specific SERPs and can communicate findings in plain English, we should be a great fit. The primary objective is to drive organic traffic from SEO executives, SEO agencies, Content Agencies and others who are likely to be searching for AI tools for SEO and Content. These are the primary keywords we are looking for.
