• Partner with Product to shape the roadmap using data, customer insights, and technical intuition to ensure we are solving real problems for studios and players.
• Experience in MarTech, GameTech, AdTech space with exposure to product analytics and experimentation tools such as Mixpanel, Amplitude, Looker, AppsFlyer, or LaunchDarkly
• Influence long-term technical decisions while also accelerating short-term product iteration.
• Own end-to-end delivery of core product features with a focus on durability, scalability, and exceptional user experience.
• Design and implement systems that power player acquisition, activation, and retention for Web2 and Web3 games.
• Lead experimentation frameworks, scoring systems, and targeting engines that enable faster product-led growth.
• Lead with your deep experience building, integrating, or scaling AI-powered systems, with the ability to evaluate models, design intelligent features, and leverage AI tooling to improve product performance and developer velocity.
• Establish engineering best practices that improve performance, reliability, and speed of execution across the team.
• Mentor and level up engineers through deep technical guidance, pairing, and architectural coaching.
• Act as a multiplier by unblocking teams, simplifying complexity, and enabling faster decision-making.
• Use product analytics, experimentation, and customer feedback to validate assumptions and improve feature outcomes.
• Collaborate closely with Data Science to design models, define telemetry, and evaluate impact.
• Translate complex product requirements into clear, actionable engineering decisions.
• Work with GTM, BD, and Commercial to understand studio workflows and identify new opportunities to help games launch and grow.
• Communicate trade-offs, risks, and options clearly to ensure alignment across engineering and product groups.
