🎯 What you’ll do:

• own the technical delivery of game teams from idea to live operations:

• write and review production code regularly

• design and evolve game systems

• step into complex technical problems when they matter

• ensure games are stable, performant, and shippable

You’ll run the full lifecycle: discovery → implementation → QA → release → live ops. You’ll work closely with engineers, QA, product, and art - not as a coordinator, but as a technical decision-maker.

This is not a people-heavy management role. Leadership comes from technical ownership and example.

🔧 How hands-on is this? Very.

• commit code to production

• review architecture and PRs

• debug live issues

• pair with engineers on hard problems

🧠 What you bring

• strong hands-on engineering background

• experience owning production systems

• comfort with live releases and real users

• technical credibility with senior engineers

Strong plus

• Games / iGaming / real-time products

• Live Ops or high-availability systems

🧰 Tech context

• JavaScript / TypeScript

• Node.js

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

👉 This is not for you if

• You don’t code anymore

• You want a people-management-only role

• You prefer coordination over engineering

👉 This is for you if

You want to lead teams through technical strength, ship real products, and stay close to the code while having more impact.
