The ideal candidate will possess a blend of technical acumen and people management skills, with a keen ability to navigate and orchestrate the intricacies of game development processes.


Key Responsibilities
  • Team leadership and development - lead and mentor the engineering team, fostering a culture of innovation and technical excellence. Provide career development opportunities through training, hands-on learning and feedback.
  • Strategic planning - collaborate with the game leadership team to define the technical vision and translate business goals into technical strategies. Ensure the strategy is broken down into technical roadmaps and prioritized together with product features.
  • Technical oversight - oversee the game architecture, engineering processes and the technical health of the game. Ensure best practices are maintained and continuously improved. Evaluate and implement new systems as needed to support evolving game development needs.
  • Cross-functional collaboration - work closely with other teams such as Art, Design, Product management, Quality Assurance and Production as well as act as a technical liaison between the game development team and central technology together with the tech pod.
  • Communication - clear communication of technical capabilities and project statuses to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Produce clear documentation and reports that contribute to the transparency of engineering processes and technical decisions.
Your Career Path
  • In your first month, you'll spend most of your time getting to know your engineering team, the game, and familiarizing yourself with our technology stack. You'll be getting to know your team's rituals, tasks and culture to fully understand the team and build relationships. You'll get to know the vision for the game and the roadmap ahead, as well as building relations with key stakeholders in the Subway Surfers team.
  • Within three months, you will be up to speed with the roadmap, workflows and dynamics within your team, and will start identifying areas of improvement. By this point you'll be closely mentoring your team, and building an overview of competencies, skills, needs, career goals and growth opportunities. This is also a time to focus on building strong relationships with key stakeholders outside Subway Surfers.
  • By your first twelve months, you'll successfully lead the development and launch of key features and improvements. You'll significantly contribute to the game's performance, health and technical strategy and roadmaps. Your leadership will contribute to a strong autonomous engineering team capable of tackling complex challenges. You are strategizing future technical directions and contributing actively to the vision, ensuring the game's continued success.
Requirements

  • Ability to set and drive a technical vision and direction for projects, making data informed decisions and driving towards alignment.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Product-savviness - the ability to understand, discuss and interact with all disciplines on your games team without being an expert.
