  • Strategize & Execute: Define and implement the technical roadmap for our cutting-edge mobile game product.
  • Drive Engineering Excellence: Continuously analyze and enhance our tech, tools, and practices, spearheading initiatives for efficiency and innovation.
  • Collaborate for Quality: Partner closely with Game Producers and company-wide divisions to ensure the highest product quality and seamless execution of the game roadmap.

What We're Looking For

  • Proven Leadership: 10+ years in engineering, with 5+ years in senior management roles (e.g., Technical Director, CTO, Director of Engineering). You have demonstrated experience as a "Manager of Managers."
  • Strategic Vision: A track record of creating and executing tech strategies for large-scale software products.
  • Hands-On Expertise: Strong technical acumen with previous hands-on experience as a software engineer, ideally within large mobile products (iOS/Android native, C++/C#/Java/Scala).
  • Game Engine Experience (Nice to Have): Familiarity with complex in-house, Unity, or Unreal game engines.
  • Proactive & Action-Oriented: A self-starter with a proactive problem-solving mindset.
  • Bar Raiser: You're never satisfied with the status quo, consistently challenging yourself, your teams, and your peers to achieve more.
