  • Support the engineering team in formulating the technical strategy needed to further increase tech health, technical deliverables, and system architecture qualities.
  • Recruit, retain, coach, and develop engineers, data scientists and other competencies on both IC and manager level, to achieve excellence.
  • Improve people and engineering processes and ways of working, including cross-functional collaboration.
  • Actively participate in developing the Engineering craft across King to ensure craft excellence.
  • Work together with the Area Leadership team, Engineering Management function, and other leaders in Candy Crush to make King a great, diverse, and inclusive workplace.
  • Operate in a fast-moving environment, making quick well-informed decisions, and executing effectively to deliver outsized outcomes.
  • Advocate for our players, staying close to their problems, and solving them in novel ways.

Skills To Create Thrills

  • Extensive experience with machine learning and artificial intelligence, including hands-on experience with deploying ML models in production environments.
  • Demonstrated ability to apply ML solutions to solve product problems leading to tangible business value and improved user experiences.
  • Tenured leader and people manager, with experience leading other leaders.
  • A highly technical and result-oriented leader experienced in aligning goals with customer requirements and product roadmaps.

Making the World Playful is our mission – it's the thread that connects our people, our players, and our passion for our games. Let's face it, who doesn't love a bit of fun?

Kingsters are seriously playful: creative thinkers who balance art and science to bring moments of magic to millions daily. But our players aren't the only ones that can level-up. We're always looking for ways to champion each other and make what's already great, even better.

So, if this feels like a fun way to spend your days, and you share our passion, our values, and our hunger to shape the future, join us in Making the World Playful.
