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.

Mission

As a Unity Team Lead, you’ll play a key role in driving both technical excellence and engineering evolution of a live, revenue‑generating mobile game. You will own the management of a senior Unity development team while contributing directly as a hands‑on engineer: keeping the bar high on craft, embedding AI into how the team works, and ensuring every technical decision is made with live-game discipline.

Your main responsibilities will include:

• 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.

Who we are looking for

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:

• Senior Unity expertise: you write clean, robust Unity/C# code, own architecture decisions, and set the technical standard for your team.
• 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.

Our Culture

At Homa, we prioritize talent, energy, and determination over traditional credentials. We’re building a global community of brilliant, driven people who think boldly, act with pragmatism, move fast, and push boundaries. We believe true innovation comes from diverse perspectives, deep collaboration, and curiosity without limits. Our culture is grounded in four core values:

• Humility: We recognise that we are always learning, we can always improve and grow – we stay grounded in a clear view of ourselves.
• Curiosity: We continuously seek the “why” behind the “what”, we explore with purpose and practicality.
• Focus: Our curiosity takes us deeper, not wider – we obsess over the details and let pragmatism guide our attention.
• Ambition: We strive for the best – we don’t settle for “good enough” and use common sense to reach higher.

Benefits

Building great games starts with building a great place to work. Here’s what you can expect:

• Comprehensive benefits: Depending on your location, you’ll enjoy a range of perks such as insurance, meal vouchers, public transport, gym memberships, and more.
• Paris HQ access: Enjoy a desk at our private office in a well‑located WeWork building that will give you access to WeWork perks like rooftop view and designed coworking spaces.
• Coworking access: You will have access to WeWork spaces throughout Europe, along with all their perks and professional office environments.
• Global team: Collaborate in English with top‑tier talent from 35+ countries, spanning Europe, the UK, the US, and more. Diversity fuels our creativity and innovation.
• Team gatherings: We value time together beyond the screen. Join us for occasional team gatherings, off‑site retreats (Workations as we name them) to connect, recharge, and celebrate.
• Performance reviews: We’re committed to your growth. Every six months, we reflect on your progress, recognize your achievements, and align on clear development goals.
• Equipment support: From day one, we’ll provide everything you need to do your best work, including a home office setup allowance if you’re working remotely.

Where We Hire

Our HQ in Paris is a vibrant hub of creativity, collaboration, and connection. From rooftop lunches and coffee chats to after‑work apéros and community events, we’ve designed a space people genuinely enjoy – all within a cosy WeWork filled with good energy and snacks.

We also have incredible team members across Europe – from Spain and Turkey to Germany, North Macedonia, Poland, the UK, and more. Whether you’re working from a sunny WeWork in Barcelona or your home setup in Warsaw, you’re fully part of our culture. To keep collaboration smooth, we primarily hire within European time zones (UTC to UTC+3). If you’re about there – or planning to be – we’d love to hear from you!
