Job description
Join Pixel Toys as a Lead Programmer and become the driving force behind a talented team of game engineers, steering them toward the delivery of high-profile, best-in-class mobile experiences.
You will step into this pivotal role at a critical stage of development, where your leadership will push the absolute limits of quality and performance on the latest mobile and tablet hardware. Working shoulder-to-shoulder with other discipline Leads and Directors, you will set the gold standard for every technical facet of the game, ensuring that user experience, performance, and visual fidelity are never compromised.
Acting as both a visionary and a strategist, you will collaborate closely with Product Owners, Designers, and Artists to translate creative goals into flawless technical implementations. Through partnering with the production team, you will define a clear technical roadmap and craft thorough plans that keep the project on track, on quality, and within budget.
In this position you will be much more than a manager; you will be an inspiring mentor who motivates your team, provides constructive feedback, and maintains an open mind to the evolving challenges of game development, ensuring we always find the most innovative path forward.
Requirements
Do you have experience in Unity?, You will join us as an inspiring technical leader who balances deep engineering expertise with the emotional intelligence required to guide a high-performing team. With proven experience in a similar leadership role, you bring a broad understanding of the technical hurdles inherent in mobile development and a track record of commanding small-to-mid-sized teams through complex challenges.
A creative problem solver at heart and a proactive team player who doesn't just wait for solutions to appear, you will actively drive technical implementations and processes forward to meet the highest industry standards.
Your mastery of Unity and C# is backed by a solid understanding of modern coding methodologies, agile development, and the fast-paced nature of prototyping and feature iteration.
Beyond the screen, you are an exceptional communicator who can bridge the gap between technical and non-technical disciplines with ease and positivity. You are fueled by a genuine passion for both the craft of programming and the art of leadership, constantly striving for self-improvement while acting as a role model who empowers everyone around you to reach their full potential.
