Head of Engineering

$100bn was spent on in-game items last year. $0 went to players. We believe that players should be rewarded for the valuable time and money they choose to invest in games. At Immutable, we are returning true ownership to players by building games where they are free to buy, sell, and trade their hard-earned in-game items.

Immutable has built Gods Unchained, which is a complex, multilayered strategic game that allows users the ability to build strategic decks and play those against other players in a variety of game modes. Gods Unchained is widely regarded as one of the highest quality blockchain games, and as our player base grows we are looking for a Head of Engineering to create a vision for the future of GU.

As our Head of Engineering for Gods Unchained, you will be joining the most rapidly growing tech company and game studio in Australia at a key stage in development. You will have the opportunity not just to build a fantastic game, but also to define the basic patterns of a new genre of game which will be used all around the world. If you are a game engineering leader looking to make an outsized impact, this is the role for you.

You will have the opportunity to:

• Build, develop and manage a high-performance engineering culture
• Play a critical role in change across culture in coaching and sharing your experiences to build the complete end to end delivery process
• Work with product leadership to define the best possible engineering process for shipping the products Immutable needs
• Review the high-level architecture decisions made by our teams, and ensure they are aligned with the company’s strategy
• Participate in engineering leadership meetings to set and derive our engineering and product focus to align with the company’s overall strategy
• Provide feedback to design leads to ensure system designs are both workable and maintainable
• Hire and manage a team of strong engineering leaders
