You'll Be Empowered To 🎮:

• Lead and Ship: Own the end-to-end player journey. Guide your teams to experiment and ship high-impact features quickly.
• Drive Delivery Excellence: Set and enforce best practices for delivery velocity and execution quality.
• Build High-Performance Culture: Foster autonomy, accountability, and fast iteration across your squads.
• Shape Technical Strategy: Define the platform's technical direction including smart matchmaking and player acquisition systems — in close partnership with Product, Design, and Data.
• Grow Your Team: Coach engineers with consistent feedback, mentorship, and clear career development paths.

We'd Love You To Bring 🤝:

• Leadership & Team Development

- 2+ years leading high-performing engineering teams, with a genuine commitment to coaching and performance development. - Experience leading zero-to-one product development in a founding or early-stage environment. - Excellent communication skills and the ability to bring clarity to ambiguous, fast-moving situations.

• Technical Expertise

- Strong full-stack engineering background with hands-on experience in system design, scaling, and delivery. - Proficient in React, TypeScript, Go, and comfortable leading teams using this stack. - Experience building consumer-facing products: player engagement, intelligent marketing, automated workflows, or scalable AI-powered features.

• AI-Native Engineering (must-have)

- This is not a box-tick. We're looking for an EM who has been actively embedding AI-first ways of working into their engineering practice, not just using AI tools personally, but changing how their team builds. - Daily use of Claude, Cursor, and/or Copilot for coding, prototyping, architecture thinking, and technical review with clear, specific examples of impact. - Team-level AI adoption: has introduced AI tooling standards, prompting practices, or LLM-assisted workflows into sprint cycles over the past 6–12 months. - Hiring and evaluation: screens for AI aptitude in engineering candidates; has updated interview criteria or technical assessments to reflect AI-native expectations. - Proactive LLM usage: can articulate concretely where AI has meaningfully improved velocity, quality, or product outcomes on their team, not surface-level. - AI product thinking: understands how to design and ship AI-powered product features, not just use AI to write code.

• Product Mindset

- Builder mentality with a track record of shipping high-quality, customer-centric consumer products. - Ideally from a fast-paced startup or scale-up environment.
