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.

Integrate with backend APIs (player data, leaderboards, progression)

Support data‑driven tuning (e.g. values controlled via JSON/config)

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

Fully remote—work from anywhere

Benefits—PTO and other perks depending on the client

Work with U.S.‑based companies building exciting, impactful products

Join collaborative, high‑performance teams that value your input and expertise
