At Dapper, we believe that success means thriving in a dynamic and ever-changing technical environment while embracing autonomy and solving complex problems. As a Software Engineer on our team, you will not only focus on writing exceptional code but also collaborate closely with Product, Design, and other team members to define the future of blockchain gaming and create new opportunities for our users.
Your role as a Software Engineer at Dapper will put you at the forefront of our mission. You will have the opportunity to develop your professional expertise in various technical aspects while collaborating with cross-functional teams.

- Technical Proficiency: You have the ability to quickly learn unfamiliar technical patterns, systems, or languages. You thrive in challenging technical environments and are open to exploring new tools and approaches to solve complex problems.
- Problem Solving: You excel at unblocking team members when they face technical challenges, demonstrating your ability to make steady progress on tasks and knowing when to seek help to overcome obstacles.
- Communication: You are a strong communicator and can effectively collaborate with non-technical functions like Product and Design teams. You understand how your work contributes to larger projects and can identify and address potential issues in project requirements.
- Ownership and Prioritization: You take ownership of small-to-medium tasks, ensuring they are effectively planned and executed. You have a strong ability to prioritize tasks and avoid fixating on unimportant details.
- Support: You are capable of providing support in your area of expertise, even in unfamiliar parts. You work well within a team and can adapt to different aspects of your role as needed.
The following skills and experiences would be considered a bonus:
- Familiarity with Golang, GraphQL, and Google Cloud Platform.
