We are a lean, senior-focused remote team building a premium casual mobile game targeting a 2026 launch. Every role on the team carries real ownership and responsibility. We hire seniors who can lead their domain, not execute instructions. ABOUT THE ROLEYou design, balance, and stress-test all core systems, economy, progression, session flow, and content.
