About Cantina
Cantina, founded by Sean Parker, is a new social platform with the most advanced AI character creator. Build, share, and interact with AI bots and your friends directly in the Cantina or across the internet. Cantina bots are lifelike, social creatures, capable of interacting wherever humans go on the internet. Recreate yourself using powerful AI, imagine someone new, or choose from thousands of existing characters. Bots are a new media type that offer a way for creators to share infinitely scalable and personalized content experiences combined with seamless group chat across voice, video, and text.
About The Role
AI and Gaming go together like peanut butter and jelly. We believe some of the best ways to build relationships with other users (bots and human alike) on the platform will be by playing games with them.

Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in software game development, or alternatively, experience with dating apps or social media.
- Proficiency in web technologies (React, JavaScript, HTML5) and mobile development (iOS and Android).
- Experience with game development frameworks like Phaser and WebGL is a plus.
- Experience in prototyping and iterating on games, with an understanding of vertical slices and game development lifecycle.
- Ability to adapt to different technologies and quickly shift focus between web and mobile development.
