Job description

TOJGAMES is a mobile game studio in Dubai. Our main game, Traffic Racer Open World, is an open-world racing game for iOS and Android with online multiplayer and deep car customization. Millions of people play it, and it's rated 4.7 out of 5 on both Google Play and the App Store, from more than 430,000 ratings. We also make Traffic Racer Pro and Real Car Parking 2.

You will lead development of Traffic Racer Open World, our live open-world racing game on iOS and Android, with millions of players. You'll own the technology (architecture, performance, builds and releases, technical planning) and lead the development team. This is a hands-on role: expect to spend roughly a third to half of your time writing and reviewing code and solving the hardest problems yourself. You'll work directly with company leadership: they set the product priorities, and you decide how they get built.

Responsibilities

• Own the technical direction of the game: architecture, tech stack and the technical roadmap.
• Lead, hire and grow the development team.
• Turn product priorities into technical plans, estimates and a realistic release schedule.
• Keep the game fast and stable on real devices, including low-end Android phones.
• Own the build and release process for iOS and Android, including store requirements.
• Set code quality standards: code review, testing and documentation.
• Write code and solve the hardest technical problems yourself.

Requirements

• 8+ years of professional Unity (C#) development.
• Shipped at least two mobile free-to-play games on iOS and Android, and supported them as live games after launch.
• Experience leading development teams, including senior developers: architecture decisions, code review, planning and hiring.
• Deep knowledge of mobile performance, including on low-end devices: profiling, memory and IL2CPP.
• Hands-on experience with native iOS and Android builds (Xcode, Gradle) and integrating third-party SDKs.
• Clear written communication: you can write a technical plan that both the team and leadership understand.
• Good English (spoken and written): it's our working language.

Nice to have

• Experience with racing or open-world games, or vehicle physics.
• Real-time multiplayer experience (Photon or similar).
• Experience with ad mediation, in-app purchases, analytics and A/B testing.
• Experience using AI coding tools in daily work, with careful review of their output.
• Russian: many on our team and many of our players speak it.

What we offer

• Paid annual leave.
• Lead the development of a live game played by millions.
• Real ownership: you make the technical decisions and help build the team.
• Work directly with company leadership, with no layers of management in between.
• Hard, interesting problems: performance, multiplayer, live operations and scale.
• Salary and other terms are discussed during the hiring process.
