The posting
Get excited to join Scopely’s AI-native incubation team, which is focused on discovering the next generation of mobile games. This role can be remote in the US or hybrid in Culver City, LA.
Rather than spending years developing a single title, we believe one of the most effective ways to find great games is to rapidly transform ideas into playable experiences, launch them to real players, and learn from live market feedback.
We’re pioneering a new approach to game creation—one in which AI enables creators to work across traditional discipline boundaries, take greater ownership of ideas from concept through launch, and bring more great games to players.
What You’ll Do
If you’re a producer who is excited by rapid experimentation, comfortable creating clarity in ambiguous environments, and loves helping teams bring new ideas to life, you’ll feel at home on this team.
We don’t organize our work strictly around traditional disciplines. We believe AI enables skilled creators to contribute to more of the game development process than ever before. As a Producer, you’ll create the structure, workflows, and momentum that allow a small, AI-native team to move quickly from idea to live game. You’ll help shape schedules and roadmaps, keep shared development work moving, manage the build and release process, and contribute hands-on to prototype and game development.
- Build and maintain schedules across concept development, prototyping, production, testing, release, and live iteration.
- Help define the team’s roadmap, development goals, milestones, dependencies, and decision points.
- Manage the backlog and roadmap for shared infrastructure, frameworks, tools, and reusable features, balancing immediate game needs with investments that benefit future Horton projects.
- Partner with engineers, designers, artists, analytics, user acquisition, and product leads to move games from prototypes to live tests.
- Manage builds, QA, submissions, releases, and post-launch updates across testing and distribution platforms.
- Establish release-readiness criteria, track issues and dependencies, and coordinate triage and go/no-go decisions.
- Manage external development and service providers, including relationships, scopes, schedules, deliverables, and day-to-day communication.
- Work with central legal, procurement, finance, and other groups to secure external resources and manage MSAs, SOWs, contracts, purchase orders, and vendor onboarding.
- Use AI tools to improve planning, documentation, production workflows, communication, and game development.
- Contribute hands-on to prototype and game development, using AI-native tools and workflows to unblock work and help turn ideas into playable experiences.
What We’re Looking For
- Demonstrated experience using AI tools as a meaningful part of your production, product, or development workflow.
- Experience in game production, product operations, release management, or a closely related role. Mobile game experience is strongly preferred.
- A track record of managing schedules, roadmaps, backlogs, dependencies, and cross-functional development teams.
- Experience coordinating builds, QA, platform submissions, releases, and post-launch updates.
- Strong organizational and communication skills, with the ability to create clarity and momentum in ambiguous environments.
- Experience managing external developers, vendors, or service providers.
- Familiarity with MSAs, SOWs, contracts, procurement, and vendor onboarding processes. You do not need to draft legal documents, but you should be comfortable owning the process and follow-through.
- Comfort working hands-on with modern game engines, development tools, project-management systems, and release pipelines.
- A bias toward building, testing, learning, and iterating quickly rather than relying on lengthy planning cycles.
- The ability to balance speed, quality, risk, and team capacity while keeping work moving.
- A collaborative mindset and the ability to work effectively across engineering, design, art, product, analytics, user acquisition, legal, procurement, and external partners.
- Passion for games and curiosity about how AI will change the way games are created and shipped.
- Build repeatable production and release practices that can scale across Horton and Scopely.
Bonus Points:
- Experience building shared tools, frameworks, or production processes across multiple projects.
- Experience working in small, highly autonomous teams or startup environments.
- Experience shipping multiple mobile games or prototypes.
- Familiarity with Unity, Unreal, Godot, or other modern game engines.
- Experience with mobile app-store submissions, live-service releases, analytics, or user acquisition testing.
