🎯 What you’ll do

• design, build, and improve core game systems

• write and review production code

• debug and fix complex live issues

• set technical standards through example

You’ll own systems end to end: idea → implementation → QA → release → live ops. You’ll work daily with engineers, QA, product, and art - driving decisions through technical clarity.

This is a hands-on leadership role, not management.

🔑 What leadership means here

• You lead by coding, pairing, reviewing, and fixing

• People follow your decisions because they trust your judgment

• You raise the bar without becoming a bottleneck

No headcount ownership. No delivery theater. Just real engineering leadership.

🧠 What you bring

• Deep hands-on engineering experience

• Regular production coding

• Ownership mindset for live systems

• Comfort with complexity and ambiguity

Strong plus

• Games / iGaming / interactive products

• Performance-sensitive or real-time systems

🧰 Tech context

• JavaScript / TypeScript

• Node.js

• Game / frontend-heavy systems (Pixi.js / Phaser.js / Canvas / WebGL)

You don’t need to know everything on day one - you need to be able to go deep fast.

👉 This is not for you if

• You want to move away from coding

• You expect authority without hands-on work

• You avoid production responsibility

👉 This is for you if

You want to stay deeply technical, have real influence on how things are built, and ship games that run in production not slides.
