AI Vibe Coder (Hybrid – Oklahoma City)
About PlayCash
PlayCash is a rewarded gameplay platform where users earn real rewards by playing mobile games. Our app is live on both the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, and we’re focused on building fast, shipping often, and continuously improving the user experience through data and iteration.
We operate like a product\-first startup: lean, fast\-moving, and highly execution\-driven. Ideas turn into shipped features quickly here.
Role Overview
We’re hiring an AI Vibe Coder to replace the traditional “Junior Developer” role with something more modern and product\-focused.
This is an entry\- to mid\-level position for someone who can think, build, debug, and ship. You don’t need years of experience, but you must understand code well enough to reason through problems, debug logic, and execute with AI\-assisted workflows.
This role is hybrid and requires a minimum of 3 days per week in our Oklahoma City office (60% in\-office).
Fully remote candidates will not be considered.
