What You’ll Do

  • Architect our Future: Design and scale the systems that power our platform. Scaling and refining the early infrastructure we've built across client, backend, and AI integrations.
  • Build and Grow a World Class Eng Org: Hire, manage and mentor senior engineering leaders; shape a team culture that delivers fast without sacrificing quality.
  • Partner with leadership: Own the technical strategy and represent engineering in executive planning- turning company vision into executable plans.
  • Inform Strategy with Technical Insight: Use your engineering expertise to shape product, operations, and business decisions that drive growth.
  • Drive Technical Excellence & Velocity: Set the bar for quality, scalability, and speed to ensure we move fast and build right.

  • Prior experience as a technical leader in a startup or small studio environment.
  • Hands-on expertise in modern mobile web game engines (H5 or similar) and/or full-stack web/mobile architecture.
  • Strong systems thinking and comfort building for rapid prototyping, live operations, and multiplayer or social experiences.
  • Experience with and deep curiosity around AI/ML integrations in gameplay or tooling.
  • Strong people and project leadership skills. You know how to keep teams aligned, motivated, and producing.
  • A strong communicator who can influence at the executive level and earn trust across technical and non-technical teams.
  • Comfortable leading through ambiguity and helping teams make smart tradeoffs early in product development.
  • Hands on when needed, but not a bottleneck, you know when to dive in and when to delegate.

Nice to Have

  • Experience working in or leading mobile, social, or UGC-based games or platforms.
  • Exposure to generative AI tools, LLMs, or creative AI workflows.
  • You’re a player yourself and stay curious about the future of games.

Why Join Us?

  • Opportunity to lead and level-up an ambitious product.
