Senior Game Technical Lead

European Union
Software Development

🎯 What you’ll do

You will:

  • write and review production code,

  • design and evolve game systems,

  • debug real production issues,

  • and set the technical standard for the team.

You’ll own the technical side of the product lifecycle: idea → implementation → QA → release → live ops. You’ll work daily with Product, QA, Art, Animation, and Platform - through collaboration, not handoffs.

You’ll help the team ship with:

  • clearer scope,

  • fewer surprises,

  • better technical decisions.

🔧 How hands-on is this? Very.

You will:

  • code regularly,

  • review PRs and architecture decisions,

  • jump into debugging when things break,

  • pair with engineers to unblock and teach by example.

You will not:

  • become a delivery coordinator,

  • manage people full-time,

  • or disappear into meetings.

🧠 What you need to bring

Must-have

  • Strong hands-on engineering background.

  • Experience building and shipping production systems.

  • Comfort owning technical decisions end to end.

  • Experience working with real users, releases, and production incidents.

➕ Strong plus (not required)

  • Experience in iGaming / games / real-time or high-frequency products.

  • Live Ops experience or work on always-on systems.

  • Parallel development and frequent releases.

  • Working in regulated or high-risk production environments.

🧰 Tech you’ll work with

  • Node.js (TypeScript / JavaScript)

  • Pixi.js / Phaser.js

  • Spine

  • Performance-sensitive systems and live environments

🔁 How we work

  • Ship fast, then improve.

  • Fix problems early.

  • Prefer simple solutions over clever ones.

  • Fewer meetings, more real work.

  • Direct, respectful communication.

🔥 What we offer

  • Fully remote (Europe-friendly)

  • Unlimited vacation + paid sick leave

  • Quarterly performance bonuses

  • Learning budget (courses, conferences)

  • Real technical ownership

  • No micromanagement

👉 This is not the role if…

  • You’re done with hands-on engineering.

  • You want a pure management role.

  • You prefer coordination over problem-solving.

  • You avoid production responsibility.

👉 This is the role if…

You’re a mature engineer who still loves building things, wants more technical influence, and is ready to lead by example while staying close to the code. If that sounds like you - let’s talk!
