Frontend Game Developer Jobs in Miami, FL (NOW HIRING)

Organization Overview:
The Florida Panthers are in their 33rd season in 2026-27 as one of the National Hockey League's premier franchises. As back-to-back Stanley Cup Champions in 2024 and 2025, the Panthers have won 11 of their past 12 postseason series and captured four Eastern Conference Championships. The organization is led by President of Hockey Operations & General Manager Bill Zito, entering his seventh season, and President of Business Operations Michael White, beginning his first full season.
Anchored by a championship culture on the ice, the Panthers are equally committed to building a world-class sports and entertainment platform off of it. The organization focuses on delivering an elite guest experience across all venues, deepening the connection between the team and the South Florida community and continuing to grow the sport for the next generation. The Panthers operate four facilities in Broward County: Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise which is home of Panthers home games, concerts and events, Panthers IceDen in Coral Springs, the state-of-the-art Baptist Health IcePlex in Fort Lauderdale and renovated War Memorial Auditorium which hosts concerts and events year-round.
The Panthers are owned by Vincent J. Viola, a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point and a veteran of the U.S. Army. That foundation of selfless service shapes the organization's identity at every level. The Panthers' pillar program, "Heroes Among Us," honors a U.S. military veteran at every home game, and the Florida Panthers Foundation directs its efforts across four core pillars: veterans' affairs, children's health and education, raising awareness for the endangered Florida Panther and growing youth hockey throughout the region. The organization remains deeply committed to empowering and strengthening the diverse communities of South Florida and the tri-county area.

Position Overview
We are seeking a Product Engineer with 1-3 years of experience to serve as the front-end specialist on our Data Science team, building the internal web applications that turn backend services and AI capabilities into intuitive, well-designed interfaces for users across the organization. Operating 100% on-site at our Sunrise offices, this role solves the problem of fragmented tools by translating complex data products and AI-powered workflows into clear, usable interfaces for departments ranging from Marketing and Ticket Sales to Finance and Venue Operations. While we value formal UI/UX or design training, we are primarily looking for an engineer with strong product sensibility and a track record of shipping polished interfaces; if you bring the visual logic and technical horsepower, we will provide the industry context and the platform to see your work directly influence a championship organization.
Key Responsibilities

• Design and build features within our internal web applications, transforming backend services and AI capabilities into clear, usable interfaces for users across the organization.
• Implement UI components following the team's established design system and brand standards, ensuring a consistent, world-class aesthetic across all internal products.
• Consume backend APIs built by the Platform Engineer and Automation Engineer to deliver complete, end-to-end user experiences.
• Translate the needs of internal users - across many departments - into clear information architecture and intuitive workflows that facilitate strong data literacy across the organization.
• Apply front-end testing, accessibility, and performance practices as standard parts of the development lifecycle.
• Participate in design discussions and component-library decisions, contributing to a coherent product surface across the team's portfolio of internal applications.
• Collaborate closely with the Platform Engineer, Automation Engineer, and senior staff on integration points, feature scope, and the look-and-feel of customer-facing AI experiences.

Qualifications
Required:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Human-Computer Interaction, Digital Media, Design, or a related field.
• 1-3 years of experience in front-end engineering, full-stack engineering, or a similar product-focused role with a portfolio of shipped user interfaces.
• Solid proficiency in modern front-end development, including hands-on experience with a component-based UI framework and a contemporary CSS approach.
• Strong fundamentals in front-end web technologies and modern build/tooling environments, with comfort in version control (Git) and standard package managers.
• Demonstrated eye for detail, product craft, and the ability to translate business requirements into polished, intuitive interfaces.
• Exceptional ability to present design and engineering decisions to stakeholders, explaining trade-offs through both a user-experience and a commercial lens.
• Ability to work full-time, on-site at our Sunrise, FL offices. This role is based 100% in-person to support close collaboration with the broader BI team and cross-functional stakeholders.

Preferred:

• Experience building data-heavy interfaces such as dashboards, reporting suites, tables with filtering, or interactive charts.
• Familiarity with authentication flows (e.g., Cognito, OAuth, SSO) and deploying front-end applications to cloud environments.
• Exposure to LLM-powered interfaces, including chat UIs, streaming responses, or other AI-assisted user experiences.
• Working knowledge of Python for occasional scripting or backend collaboration.
• Formal training or experience in UI/UX design, particularly for analytical software or enterprise-level tools.
• A passion for sports analytics or previous experience within the sports and entertainment industry.

Team & Environment
You will join a lean, fast-moving Data Science team where creativity and speed are essential. We operate in a championship-winning environment that is structured yet agile; you will often be given open-ended business problems that require you to be both the architect and the builder of the solution. We are looking for a teammate who is eager to apply technical craft to the exciting world of professional sports.
Position Type/Expected Hours of Work:
This is a full-time salaried (exempt) position. This role is 100% in-person in our Sunrise Florida offices; remote or hybrid work is not available. Must be able to work flexible hours including nights, weekends, and holidays as needed to support game-day operations.
At the Florida Panthers Hockey Club, Arena Operating Company, Panthers IceDen, Sanza Food Service, War Memorial Benefit Corporation, and FLA Team Shop, we strive to make every employee feel valued and respected for who they are and the unique contributions they make.
