Engineering Lead
Remote within CET/CEST -/+ 2 or Hamburg
We’re looking for an Engineering Lead to provide technical direction across backend and frontend development for a large-scale live game environment. This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll own delivery, guide architecture, and develop engineers while ensuring projects are delivered reliably and to a high standard.
You’ll work across Java backend services and game frontend technologies, connecting the two areas and providing architectural oversight without needing to be the deepest specialist in every layer. You’ll also help shape how AI agents are used across engineering, establishing effective workflows, review standards, and practices that allow teams to move faster without compromising quality.
