- Work closely with CEO to develop strategic direction and vision
- Work closely with team members to understand their challenges, providing technical guidance and support where needed
- Lead the architectural design and technical roadmap of our cloud-based product infrastructure, ensuring its scalability and reliability
- Facilitate collaboration and information sharing among team members to ensure optimal results and cohesion in a remote first environment
- Assist with career development of team members, setting goals, and conducting performance reviews
- Promote a culture of thorough understanding and problem-solving, encouraging team members to delve deeply into every aspect of the systems they're working on

**Requirements**:

- Must Haves:

- 10+ years of experience in software development, with 5+ years in a leadership role
- Proven experience in building and leading a world-class technical team

- Experience in all aspects of mobile game development such as game engines, SDKs, and other related ecosystem technology
- Experience with complex system design and bringing live products to market that can anticipate rapid iterative development
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with a proven ability to facilitate collaboration and information sharing in a remote first environment
- Experience in effectively managing product planning through breaking down complex problems, assessing trade-offs, and presenting concise, data-driven & strategic level recommendations to executive leadership
- Nice to Haves:

- Expertise in most of the following areas: C/C++, AOSP/Android, GLES, WebGL/WebGPU, WASM, WebRTC, Browser Engines, Game Engines, and AWS
