Tech Lead Unity Developer

LAPITOPA is a publishing and game developing company which strives to provide high quality game products for demanding users. Our team has great experience in creating and producing games for different platforms and now we focus on producing casual and hypercasual adventure games for mobile devices

We’re looking for a Tech Lead Unity Developer to take ownership of the technical side of our early-stage mobile game that we plan to evolve into a full-fledged strategy title and expand to iOS and web.

We are looking for a hands-on leader — a “playing coach” who will combine technical management and team leadership with active involvement in coding and architecture.

What are you working on?

• At what stage of the project(s)? Project at the prototyping stage
• Genres: Strategy
• Platforms: Mobile, Android

Team size and structure?

We are a small but highly ambitious team focused on building high-quality, scalable game experiences.

For which tasks (responsibilities)?

• Lead Unity development from prototype to release, ensuring clean, scalable, and maintainable code.

• Audit current technical solutions and propose improvements to strengthen the product.

• Define and implement best practices in architecture, workflows, and performance optimization.

• Oversee the integration of analytics, ad networks, and third-party SDKs.

• Drive both client- and server-side implementation to support multiplayer, live-ops, and future 4X mechanics.

• Organize and support automated build, testing, release workflows, documentation and quality processes.

• Manage development resources and priorities to deliver on product goals.

• Mentor, support, and grow a high-performing development team.

• Collaborate closely with product and design to align on the long-term roadmap.

What kind of professional are we looking for?

• 7+ years of hands-on experience with Unity3D, preferably in mobile and midcore/casual projects.

• Experience delivering projects on Android and iOS, including app store deployment.

• Familiarity with web builds and cross-platform optimization.

• Understanding of strategy/4X game mechanics and related technical challenges.

• Strong knowledge of client- and server-side development, with experience integrating backend services (SQL/NoSQL databases, Redis, Kafka/RabbitMQ, Docker/Kubernetes, and cloud platforms such as AWS/GCP/Azure).

• Proficiency in integrating third-party SDKs, analytics, and monetization tools.

What is important for us in a person?

• Proven ability to organize development workflows and optimize processes.

• Leadership skills: mentoring developers, fostering collaboration, and ensuring delivery.

• Clear communication and problem-solving abilities.

Why do we enjoy working here?

• Build a new IP from the ground up, shaping both the technical foundation and player experience.

• Work closely with a small, ambitious team passionate about midcore/strategy design.

• Influence the long-term roadmap and future platform expansions.

• Shape the full technical stack of a new strategy title — from Unity client to backend systems — with room to grow into CTO.
