WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING

We are looking for a talented and motivated software manager who can hit the ground running and help take our development team to the next level. As a leader and expert in managing advanced software technologies, you will guide the talented team of existing developers towards a common technical vision of total world domination. Just kidding, no world domination needed – but a common technical vision definitely is, as is the ability to drive the team towards always delivering the highest quality software solutions.

You will be a leader and manage the day-to-day activities of the team and will be happy to roll up your sleeves and code alongside with them whenever required. You will also participate in everything that comes before the coding – creation, analysis and development of the Augmented Reality and Artificial intelligence program. You will also take care of recruiting new members of the team.

If you have experience working in the gaming industry, or any other quick-paced agile environment, then you are excited to bring the fervour of working fast and furious on exciting projects but also relieved to know we strongly believe in work-life balance and make sure our employees achieve it.

Will you work on other projects? Yes! As new and exciting projects come up (and they will) that utilize new technologies, the opportunity to lead and work on those projects will arise. Augmented reality and artificial intelligence are part of our current focus but we move quickly, and new projects will come up regularly.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Manage – a productive and inspiration working environment for the development team
• Design - AR & AI applications that look great and perform even better.
