We know applying for jobs is exhausting. Endless text full of buzzwords and requirements you’ll never actually use. We’ll skip that.

We’re vvd. We make tools for storytellers. Right now we’re focused on TTRPGs and fiction, but that’s just where we’re starting. Our goal is simple: empower people to create worlds, stories, and experiences that others can get lost in.

We’re still at the beginning of our own story, and we’re looking for a few people to help write the next chapters.

In a moment where “AI creative tools” are pumping out slop on one side and vicious debate on the other, we’re choosing to not ignore the power this technology unlocks and empower human creativity and craft, not replace it.

This isn’t going to be easy but you’ll actually shape something real. Something that will reach millions of people. You’ll own part of it, end-to-end, in a way that leaves a mark you can point to and say: I built that.

What you’ll do

You’re an engineer who can deliver end-to-end:

• Build and ship features independently, not just close tickets.
• Work tightly with design and iterate fast.
• Care about taste, flow, and how things feel.
• Communicate directly, no corporate padding.
• Work confidently with AI dev tools (Cursor, Claude Code, etc.).

What we care about

Experience helps, but it’s not a gate. If you’ve built and shipped real things, jobs, side projects, experiments and can walk us through:

• what you built
• why you built it that way
• what broke
• how you solved it

Then you’re good for it. Ownership matters more than pedigree.

For a Full-Stack Web Developer

You're comfortable across the entire stack. You can build a feature from the database query all the way to the UI, deploy it, and monitor it in production. You don't need someone to hold your hand on the backend or frontend—you just ship.

Specifically:

• Modern frontend (React, TypeScript, Next.js or similar)
• Backend work (Node, Python, etc.)
• You understand databases, APIs, caching, and when to reach for what
• You can make architectural decisions and justify them
• You've dealt with auth, permissions, file uploads, webhooks, all the "boring" stuff that actually matters
• Bonus: you've scaled something or dealt with performance issues in production

Extra pluses

• Mobile engineering experience (React Native).
• You play TTRPGs, read fiction, or like nerdy stuff to some extent.
• You care about aesthetics and design.
