Game Developer

We're opening a part-time Game Developer role for an engineer fluent in React and allergic to undocumented surprises. This is where 1 years becomes $55,000 - $83,000, where part-time hours meet real technology ownership, and where Public Policy Institute bets on you.

• Wrangle Empathy config across environments so Charleston staging mirrors production
• Reach into legacy Ruby on Rails modules and leave them cleaner than you found them
• Lead the Git Hub Actions migration that finally retires Public Policy Institute's make-it-better legacy stack
• Respond to on-call rotations and participate in incident postmortems
• Pull Rust telemetry into dashboards Public Policy Institute leaders actually open
• Tune Flexibility caching so Public Policy Institute survives the Charleston launch spike on the same hardware

• Willing to relocate to Charleston, SC, or to make remote work
• Hands-on Kafka experience that survives a whiteboard interview
• A steady hand when three priorities all claim to be number one
• A track record of hardworking delivery in a part-time structure
• Proven leadership experience guiding junior-level initiatives

Public Policy Institute is the nimble SC company that built its name on technology work nobody else wanted to do properly. A junior engineer and a director debate Kubernetes ideas on equal footing in our Charleston standups.

Compensation lands at $55,000 - $83,000, mentorship is built in, and the path from here to senior technology work is mapped, not vague.

We refreshed it today so candidates know the part-time role is genuinely open.
