Tesana is building the "Lovable for games" — an AI-native platform that lets anyone create fully playable 3D games from a text prompt, powered by a proprietary game engine (Muranyi) built from scratch, not a wrapper. The platform already supports FPS, racing, strategy, roguelikes, action RPGs, and farming simulators, and is growing 35% week-over-week for 8 straight weeks.
You'd be one of the first engineers joining Johannes (CEO) and Eric (CTO), who single-handedly bootstrapped MusicBoard to hundreds of thousands of users. The lead engineer on the team (Markle) sets the bar — and the bar is high.
This role is core: you'll work directly on the Muranyi game engine, translating natural-language descriptions into structured, runnable game code, and building the full-stack infrastructure around it. You'll work in a young, obsessive team where shipping is the culture.

No applications, no recruiter spam. Just the intro.
A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.
I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.
If they’re a yes, I book the chat. You show up — that’s the whole job-hunt.
