About the Role
As Lead Playable Ads Developer, you will provide technical leadership for a growing group of playable developers, establishing stronger engineering practices, improving delivery workflows, and building a more consistent development framework. You will champion AI-accelerated development, using generative AI and automation to speed up builds, scale creative variants, and reduce repetitive work. You will remain hands-on, contributing directly to playable creation and using your own output as a proving ground for new workflows.
Responsibilities
- Lead and support a team of playable developers, providing technical guidance, coaching, and line management.
- Champion and roll out AI-assisted development across the team using coding assistants and agentic tools.
- Identify, prototype, and productionize automation for repetitive playable work, including variant generation, asset swapping, and export.
- Evaluate generative AI asset tools for playable creative and integrate promising ones into the team's workflow.
- Define and implement a scalable development framework for playable ads, including standards for AI-assisted work.
- Establish and promote strong software engineering practices, including maintainable architecture and clean code standards.
- Improve codebase and repository management to support team collaboration.
- Train and enable developers to adopt new frameworks, workflows, tools, and best practices.
- Develop playable ads directly as part of the role.
- Partner with stakeholders to support the successful delivery of playable work across multiple studio contexts.
Requirements
- Strong experience building playable ads with a high level of technical confidence.
- Hands-on experience building playables in an HTML5 game or playable engine (e.g., Cocos Creator, PixiJS, Phaser).
