Proven experience as a technical lead in live, free-to-play mobile games
Strong C++ background across the full game development lifecycle
Skilled in profiling, debugging, and performance optimization
Experience with multi-platform development (iOS, Android; PC/Mac/Web a bonus)
Comfortable with CI/CD, branching strategies, rollouts, and incident management
Strong communicator who works well with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Why do we enjoy working here?
Competitive salary with room to grow
Healthcare, lunch benefit, free gym, commuting benefits
A people-first culture that genuinely values work-life balance
