Overview

Frontend Developer / Motorsport Games — Remote (UK, Netherlands, Germany)

Motorsport Games is a racing game developer, publisher and esports ecosystem provider of official motor sport racing series, including the iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race and the associated FIA World Endurance Championship (the “WEC”) which we represent in our recent release Le Mans Ultimate on PC.

Our portfolio also includes the Kart Kraft karting simulation game, as well as Studio 397’s previous title rFactor2 - a realistic racing simulator technology and platform. rFactor2 also powers F1 Arcade through a partnership with Kindred Concepts. Our purpose is to make the thrill of motorsports accessible to everyone by creating the highest quality, most sophisticated and innovative experiences for racers, gamers and fans of all ages.

Our products and services target a large global motor sport and video games audience.

We are also striving to become a leader in organising and facilitating esports tournaments, competitions, and events for our licensed racing games. We create and own the technology for Race Control, a unique system that powers skill-based matchmaking, statistics and server management (amongst other) behind our titles, whilst also offering an optional subscription.

This role offers the opportunity to work on player-facing systems at the heart of a live racing simulation ecosystem. You’ll be building modern, high-performance front-end experiences used both inside the game environment and across our Race Control web platform, which powers online competition, matchmaking and server management for our titles.

You’ll join a small, highly collaborative development team where engineers have meaningful ownership of their work and a direct impact on the player experience. This is an environment where ideas are welcomed, iteration is fast, and quality matters — ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex UI challenges, working closely with designers and backend engineers, and contributing to products used by a passionate global community of sim racing players.

Reports to:

This role reports directly to the VP of Studios, a key member of the management team who works across departments to raise the quality, consistency and player focus of our products. The VP of Studios works closely with the CEO to define forward-thinking strategies and foster a culture centred on end-user experience, collaboration and delivery. You will work closely with development, live operations and external partners, with marketing positioned as a core contributor to product success rather than a support function.

This role reports to the Technical Lead Race Control and sits within the core development team responsible for front-end systems across both the game-integrated web interface and the Race Control platform. The Technical Lead provides architectural direction, technical standards, and mentorship, while fostering a collaborative engineering culture focused on performance, maintainability, and user experience.

You will work closely with UI/UX designers, backend engineers, and product stakeholders to translate designs and requirements into responsive, reliable front-end solutions that support live operations and player engagement.

Studio 397 and Motorsport Games are looking for a Frontend Developer to assist with the development of our user interface for our latest title, Le Mans Ultimate, the racing simulation available on PC via Steam.

This role will require you to work in a small but dynamic team tasked with creating the best player experience for an endurance sim racing game.

Reporting to the technical lead, you’ll need to implement designs from working with our UI/UX designers within the team and across the business. You’ll be primarily tasked with implementing designs for our game-integrated web browser-based system as well as the external site for our online competition and server management hub (Race Control) accessible via web browsers.
