  • Collaborate with design and art leads to prototype and refine gameplay features.
  • Drive code reviews, maintain coding standards, and ensure technical excellence.
  • Identify technical risks and propose solutions proactively.
  • Mentor and grow the technical team, fostering a culture of learning and innovation.
  • Contribute to developing processes and best practices that will later support external co-development projects.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of professional Unity / C# development experience, with at least 2 in a lead or senior role.
  • Strong understanding of game systems architecture, optimization, and debugging.
  • Experience shipping at least one commercial title or major prototype.
