What You’ll Do

As an Engineering Manager, you will lead a team responsible for building and maintaining key client systems for the Unity game. You will support engineers working across gameplay, live events, UI, monetization, platform integrations, and client infrastructure, while ensuring strong execution, healthy team dynamics, and sustainable engineering practices in a live-service mobile game environment.

Drive execution across feature development, live-ops support, bug fixing, technical improvements, and release readiness.
Partner with product, design, QA, analytics, art, and technical leadership to plan work, manage priorities, and deliver high-quality outcomes.
Work closely with senior engineers and technical leads to shape implementation plans, reduce risk, and improve system maintainability.
Help the team navigate the challenges of a live-service environment, including operational deadlines, cross-team dependencies, and production issues.
Coach and develop engineers through feedback, career growth, performance management, and day-to-day support.
Improve team health and effectiveness through better planning, estimation, communication, development processes, and engineering standards.
Support incident response, production issue triage, and continuous improvement across quality, stability, and delivery practices.
