critical software issues.
- Provide technical guidance, mentorship, and constructive code reviews to team
members, fostering knowledge sharing and contributing to overall team growth
and expertise.

maintaining comprehensive documentation to support knowledge sharing and
ongoing system maintenance based on evolving project needs.
To be successful in this role, your background includes:
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience.

design requirements.
- Demonstrated track record of working effectively both independently and
collaboratively within a dynamic team.
- Experience with Android and/or iOS mobile application development.
- Up-to-date understanding of current mobile gaming trends.
- Experience working with Agile, Kanban, or similar project management

- Experience with at least one graphics API (e.g. Metal, Vulkan, OpenGL,

- Proficiency rendering for game engines such as Unity3D or Unreal Engine is
nice to have but not required
- Experience with graphics debugging and optimization on Android and iOS
