What we’re looking for

We’re looking for a Game Engineer – Lead Tech (Games) to define and develop the interactive gameplay layer of the platform, focusing on building modular, repeatable game systems rather than one-off experiences.

Optimize performance across devices and environments
Provide technical leadership on game systems and architecture

Qualifications

+5 years of experience building interactive systems using web or mobile technologies (JavaScript/TypeScript or similar)
Experience working in AI-forward, agentic development workflows (e.g. Claude Code, Cursor) and leveraging them to accelerate development
Experience with modular, reusable systems (not one-off builds)
Comfortable working with API-driven and data-configurable systems
English proficiency at B2 level or higher (able to communicate effectively in written and spoken form in professional settings)

What's in It for You

Benefits — PTO and other perks depending on the clien
Work with US-based companies building exciting, impactful products
