Our work culture is intense and isn’t for everyone. But, if you’re a self-starter eager to shape the future of social interaction with a team that holds itself to the highest standards, this is the place for you. We value open, yet respectful communication and real-time feedback to help each other grow quickly. If you’re passionate about gaming and have a knack for gamifying everyday life, you’ll thrive in our fast-moving, collaborative environment.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re looking for a Member of Technical Staff - Management to serve as a senior leader within our engineering organization. This role combines engineering leadership, people management, technical strategy, and execution, with responsibility for helping the team deliver the products and infrastructure that power favorited.

You’ll manage and develop engineering teams while working closely with executive and cross-functional leaders across product, design, operations, and marketing. You’ll help translate company priorities into technical plans, lead architectural and planning efforts, and ensure the organization consistently delivers against key milestones.

This is a role for an experienced engineering leader who has built and scaled consumer products in startup environments and knows how to balance technical excellence with speed, product impact, and business priorities.

RESPONSIBILITIES

- Work closely with Product and Design to ensure engineering decisions support an exceptional consumer experience.

- Build and maintain a high-performing engineering organization through hiring, mentorship, performance management, and team development.

- Establish strong engineering practices around planning, prioritization, code quality, reliability, and delivery.

- Identify technical risks, dependencies, and organizational blockers before they impact key milestones.

- Help determine where to invest in technical infrastructure, architecture, and engineering capabilities as the company scales.

- Provide technical leadership across complex projects while empowering engineers to own implementation.

- Balance short-term delivery with the long-term scalability and health of the engineering organization.

- Foster a culture of high ownership, open and respectful communication, accountability, and continuous improvement.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

- 8+ years of experience in software engineering, with meaningful experience in engineering leadership or management.

- Previous experience working at a startup or high-growth technology company.

- Proven experience building and scaling consumer-focused products globally.

- Strong engineering background in one or more of:

- Native mobile development

- Full-Stack engineering

- Backend engineering

- Infrastructure / platform engineering

- Experience managing and developing high-performing engineering teams.

- Strong understanding of software architecture, system design, and engineering planning.

- Proven ability to lead teams through 0 → 1 product development and 1 → 10+ scale.

- Strong track record of shipping products used by significant numbers of consumers.

- Ability to work effectively with executive leadership and cross-functional teams.

- Strong product instincts and an understanding of how technical decisions impact the user experience and business.

- Excellent communication skills with the ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences.

- Ability to operate with a high degree of autonomy, urgency, and ownership in a fast-paced environment.

WHAT STANDS OUT

- Experience scaling a consumer product to millions of users globally.

- Experience leading engineering organizations through periods of rapid growth.

- Background in gaming, livestreaming, social, or other highly interactive consumer products.

- Experience building mobile applications and/or real-time consumer experiences.

- Strong technical depth that allows you to engage meaningfully in architectural and engineering discussions.

- Experience building teams and engineering processes from the ground up.

- A passion for creating products that bring together gaming, social interaction, livestreaming, and creators.

- Someone who can move comfortably between technical architecture, product strategy, and people leadership.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
