Job description

Homa is a global mobile game developer and publisher creating games people love. We partner with studios and internally develop games, having launched over 80 titles, reached over 2 billion downloads, and seen our game All in Hole break into the global top-50 grossing charts. These are milestones, not the finish line. With deep expertise in product and technology, we built Homa Lab, our proprietary platform that gives developers the market intelligence, data tools, and game tech, with AI built-in, to find product-market fit fast and scale mass-market games into lasting experiences players enjoy for years. This is our flywheel: Homa Lab helps studios spot the right ideas early, turn them into games quickly, and reach millions of players. Every launch brings back data and insights that fuel the next hit, making each turn of the loop faster, smarter, and more likely to win. AI supercharges this process, running through everything we do, from everyday tasks to our guiding principles. What powers the loop is talent density. 220+ people from 30+ nationalities, bringing expertise from the world's best studios and companies. We uphold ambition, curiosity, humility, and focus, and deliver with speed, excellence, and candor.

Since the start, we've raised $165M from Headline, Northzone, Eurazeo, Bpifrance, and the founders of King, Sorare, and Spotify, people who've built and backed the games and platforms we admire, now supporting our drive to create the next ones. At Homa, we are building the next billion-player experiences from the ground up and shaping the future of entertainment.

About this opening

What you’ll do

• Own people management for your team: run performance reviews, support career growth, and create the conditions for a high-performing, engaged engineering team
• Deliver as a senior IC on live technical projects: write production-quality Unity code, contribute to architecture decisions, and drive implementation on impactful features
• Lead AI adoption within the team: proactively test and embed new AI tools, share wins, and accelerate the team's ability to use what's possible
• Act as a technical knowledge multiplier: identify automation opportunities, expand the team's understanding of backend and AI systems, and raise engineering standards continuously
• Manage a live, scaling game with production care: balance technical ambition with revenue-conscious delivery, ensuring changes are robust, measured, and safe to ship

This is a great opportunity to own both the technical and human side of a small, elite team, shape how AI transforms day-to-day engineering on a live product, and make a direct, visible impact on a game played by millions. We are looking for someone with proven experience as a senior Unity engineer who has also led and grown engineering teams, and the humility, curiosity, ambition, and drive to make an impact fast.

You're a great fit if you have

• Proven engineering management experience: you've led engineers through hiring, performance cycles, and day-to-day management, and you do it with structure and empathy
• Clear, adaptable communication: you know how to translate technical complexity for any audience and keep collaboration sharp across functions
• Active AI curiosity: you test tools on your own initiative, understand what's possible, and think constantly about how AI can accelerate your team's output
• Strong ownership mindset: you go beyond your defined scope, spot problems before they're raised, and drive solutions without waiting to be asked
• Problem-solving depth: you break down complex technical challenges, structure clear hypotheses, and execute with rigour

Bonus points if you have

• Experience shipping and maintaining live, revenue-generating mobile games, especially puzzle games at scale
• Backend or server-side knowledge that enhances your ability to build AI-powered workflows and automations
• A track record of navigating technically complex changes on a live product under production constraints

Even if you don't check every box in our requirements, we encourage you to apply. We value diverse perspectives and backgrounds, and we're more interested in your potential and passion than a perfect match to our checklist.
