Technical Lead

requirements into well-scoped engineering tasks with realistic estimates, in collaboration with product and design. Lead and mentor the engineering team in Bangalore: Most engineers have not received structured technical feedback. Code review is your primary mentorship tool: specific, technical, and instructive. Your goal is to raise the floor of every engineer around you. Working With AI: You should be comfortable building with AI agents as part of your normal workflow: Agentic coding: using AI agents to write and ship code day to day. Agentic loops with guardrails: setting up workflows where agents do real work within constraints and checks you define. Self-healing agent loops: workflows that detect their own failures and correct themselves. What We Are Looking For: We care more about depth of skill and quality of thinking than years of experience. Here is what actually matters: Strong engineering fundamentals: you understand SOLID principles and can explain why they matter in the context of a game codebase, specifically why they make live-ops changes safer and faster, not just cleaner. Full-stack and quick with new stacks: you are comfortable across backend and frontend (Unity, React, or whatever a project uses) and you pick up unfamiliar tech stacks fast. Hands-on agentic coder: you write code day to day and use AI agents to do it. You are comfortable with agentic loops and the guardrails that keep them reliable. This is not a management-from-a-distance role. Liveops systems thinking: you have worked on a live game and understand what it means to build features that can be tuned, toggled, or updated without a full build. You think about config, feature flags, and content pipelines as engineering concerns, not product team problems. Mentorship instinct: you give direct, specific technical feedback. You can explain not just what is wrong but why and how to fix it. High agency: you identify problems and propose solutions without waiting to be asked. You own outcomes, not tasks. Unity proficiency is a

bonus. Backend or networking experience is valuable given the multiplayer games that we work on. What We Are Not Looking For: Engineers who equate years of experience with expertise. We have seen too many senior engineers with bad habits and too many sharp 4-year engineers who outperform them. People who profile only when performance is already broken. By then it is too late. Engineers who build features without thinking about who operates them post-launch. Liveops operability is an engineering responsibility. People who prefer to manage from a distance. We need someone in the code. Application Process: Apply: submit your resume. We respond within 3 business days. Written Assignment: we send this first, a focused technical problem designed to surface how you think, not just what you know. You may use AI tools, but you must fully understand what you submit. First Interview: a combined screening and technical and cultural conversation with our leadership team. Final Interview: a conversation with a founder, including a walkthrough of your assignment. Offer: formal offer with

compensation details. Please review our company values at https://bit.ly/3rsN1ti before applying. Cultural fit is not a formality here. It is a filter. Copyright © 2026 LILA GAMES | Scroll to Top
