Senior Technical Lead for Games

🎯 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.
