We are looking for an entrepreneurial Co-Founder – Mobile Gaming who will take ownership of the gaming business end-to-end.
The Prospect

As Co-Founder, you will be responsible for building and leading the game development organization , establishing the development process, hiring the core team, defining the technology and product strategy, and ultimately helping create a portfolio of successful mobile games.
You will have significant autonomy and meaningful ESOPs , aligned with the long-term success of the company.
Key Responsibilities
- Build and lead the mobile game development team from the ground up.

- Eventually take responsibility for the studio's overall game development P&L; and growth.
Who We're Looking For

Must have:
- 7+ years of experience in mobile game development or closely related gaming roles.
- Proven experience leading a team of game developers .
- Strong understanding of mobile game development and the complete development lifecycle.
- Experience shipping games that have been released to the App Store / Google Play.
- Strong understanding of Unity and/or other major mobile game development technologies .
- Experience managing developers and working cross-functionally with artists, designers and product teams.
- Strong product thinking — ability to understand what makes a mobile game addictive, engaging and commercially successful .
- Ability to operate in a highly entrepreneurial, fast-moving environment.
- Excellent communication and people-management skills.
Strongly Preferred
- Experience working at a successful mobile gaming studio.
- Experience launching multiple mobile games .
- Experience with casual,
hyper-casual, hybrid-casual or puzzle games.
- Experience with game analytics, retention, monetization and live-ops.
- Experience building a team from scratch.
- Experience taking games from 0 → 1 .
- Entrepreneurial experience or previous startup experience.
- A portfolio of commercially successful mobile games.
The Kind of Person We're Looking For
You should be someone who:
- Thinks like a founder, not an employee .
- Is obsessed with games and understands why players keep coming back.
- Can move extremely quickly and make decisions with imperfect information.
- Is equally comfortable discussing game mechanics, technology, hiring and business strategy .
- Wants to build something rather than simply manage an existing team.
- Has the ambition to build a large global gaming company from Noida .
What We Offer
- Co-Founder title and significant ownership in the company
- Meaningful ESOP package with long-term upside
- Competitive fixed salary
- Freedom to build and lead your own team
- Significant autonomy over technology and development
- Direct involvement in company strategy and decision-making
- Opportunity to build a gaming studio from the ground up
- A highly entrepreneurial environment with the resources to execute aggressively
Why This Role Is Different
You won't be joining us to manage an existing studio.
You will help build the studio.
If you have spent the last several years leading game-development teams and have ever thought, “I could build a gaming company myself,” this is the opportunity to do exactly that.
