Playnetic is a fast-growing iGaming studio focused on building high-quality, engaging casino games for global markets. Our mission is to combine technical excellence with creative innovation to deliver reliable, scalable, and entertaining gaming experiences.
Our engineering culture is built on ownership, collaboration, and continuous improvement. We work within an established client framework while continuously evolving our technology stack — including the evolution of our client engine toward a more modern, scalable, and maintainable frontend architecture.
We are looking for a Game Client Team Lead to lead one of our client-side development teams and ensure the reliable and timely delivery of our games.
This role is primarily focused on technical leadership, team management, and delivery coordination, while remaining hands-on enough to support architectural decisions and complex engineering challenges.
You will lead a team of 6–7 client developers with mixed seniority, mentor their growth, and maintain high engineering standards. You’ll also play a key role in guiding the team through our frontend evolution toward PIXI.js, ensuring delivery continuity and technical stability throughout the transition.
This is a 70% technical / 30% leadership role — ideal for someone who enjoys both coding and developing people.
