Key Responsibilities
The Frontend Engineer (Community Squad) at DOR designs product experiences that make gamers watch more gameplay, react, connect, and keep coming back.
The Community Squad is the organization at the forefront of solving DOR's core mission: "Going beyond recording great moments to making them shared between people and turning them into relationships."
What the Frontend Developer (React Native) does
- Develop and improve DOR's community mobile app experience using React Native.
- Implement core community features including feed, profiles, notifications, comments, likes, follows, and sharing.
- Analyze and improve why users come back, why they react, and where they drop off, based on data and VOC.
- Rapidly experiment with POs, Product Designers, Backend Engineers, and Data Analysts to drive real changes in user behavior.
- Build polished product experiences in mobile environments considering performance, usability, and interaction details.
- Take on a role that goes beyond just implementing features to building products that increase retention and engagement.
Services You'll Build
Feed
- Create a feed experience that brings users back more often and keeps them engaged longer.
- Improve which videos are consumed, which generate reactions, and which flows lead to repeat visits.
Profile
- Create a profile experience where users can express themselves, discover others, and maintain relationships.
- Design structures that more naturally connect creators and consumers.
Social Interaction
- Design user interactions including likes, comments, follows, shares, and saves.
- The goal is to go beyond passive consumption to create real reactions and relationships.
Notification
- Design notification experiences that give users a reason to come back.
- Ensure that followed user activity, reactions to your content, and important community changes naturally lead to revisits.
Network & Community Experience
- Build structures that connect users, bring them back together, and keep them engaged.
- Design experiences that evolve the product from a simple video tool into a community product.
Key Metrics for Community Squad
- Community user count
- Daily Retention / D7 / D30 Retention
- Feed watch time
- Engagement metrics: likes / comments / shares / saves
- Follow count / relationship formation metrics
- Notification click-through rate and revisit rate
- Creator-consumer connection density
- Network effect metrics
The goal is not to build many features, but to ensure more users visit more often, react more, and connect more strongly.

- Frontend developers don't just implement given screens -- they define problems and drive results.
