Unity Team Lead in London

Homa is a global mobile game developer and publisher creating games people love. We partner with studios and internally develop games, having launched over 80 titles, reached over 2 billion downloads, and seen our game All in Hole break into the global top‐50 grossing charts. With deep expertise in product and technology, we built Homa Lab, our proprietary platform that gives developers the market intelligence, data tools, and game tech, with AI built‐in, to find product‐market fit fast and scale mass‐market games into lasting experiences players enjoy for years.

Role and Missions – What you will do:

• Build teams. Raise the bar. Ship games that last.

As we continue to grow our internal Studio, we are looking for a Unity Team Lead to own the performance, structure, and technical excellence of a Unity development team working on our flagship mobile games. Working closely with our Product and Tech Director, you will be accountable for people, delivery, and technical direction. Your mission is clear: turn strong games into long‐term, high‐performing live titles by building a team that executes fast, clean, and at scale. This is a leadership role first. You will stay close to the product and the code, but your real impact will come from setting standards, making decisions, and pushing the team to deliver at the highest level.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead People. Build Excellence: Lead, mentor, and scale a high‐performing Unity team by sharing best practices, coaching junior developers, and actively supporting hiring to build long‐term excellence.
• Own Delivery. Drive Results: Own planning, effort estimation, and execution in coordination with other leads, breaking down complex topics and ensuring optimal resource allocation aligned with project goals.
• Set the Technical Bar: Enforce a robust, reusable, and scalable codebase, and set high standards for mobile performance and optimisation across devices.
• Partner with Product: Propose new concepts and technical solutions informed by market trends, and translate product ambition into sustainable, long‐term game systems.
• Collaborate at Scale: Work closely with tech leaders and cross‐functional teams to improve production pipelines, share standards, and drive technical innovation across the company.

You’re not just experienced, you’ve shipped, scaled, and led. You want ownership, impact, and the challenge of building games and teams that perform at the highest level.

Requirements:

• 7+ years of hands‐on Unity experience on mobile games, with deep technical knowledge.
• Proven leadership experience, managing and/or mentoring developers in remote, multicultural teams.
• Strong shipping track record, with multiple casual mobile games released and operated.
• End‐to‐end mastery of mobile game development, from pre‐production and estimation to release and live operations.
• High problem‐solving bar, able to make clear decisions in fast‐moving, ambiguous environments.
• Strong product and market awareness, with a genuine obsession for casual games and industry trends.
• Solid live game expertise, including Live Ops, A/B testing, gameplay systems, asset pipelines, and UI/UX.
• Clear, direct communicator, able to align technical and non‐technical stakeholders around shared goals.
• Fluent in English, comfortable working in an international environment.

Good to have:

• Contribution to the development and ongoing support of live games that have been globally released and sustained for over two years.

Our Culture – Who we are:

At Homa, we prioritise talent, energy, and determination over traditional credentials. We’re building a global community of brilliant, driven people who think boldly, act with pragmatism, move fast, and push boundaries. Our culture is grounded in four core values:

• Ambition: We strive for the best - we don’t settle for "good enough."
• Humility: We recognise that we are always learning, we can always improve and grow - we stay grounded in a clear view of ourselves.
• Curiosity: We continuously seek the "why" behind the "what" - we explore with purpose and practicality.
• Focus: Our curiosity takes us deeper, not wider - we obsess over the details and let pragmatism guide our attention.

Perks & Benefits:

While success is its own reward, here are some of the benefits that come with working at Homa:

• We offer essential benefits in France and specific locations, including health insurance, meal vouchers, public transport subsidies, childcare benefits, and life insurance.
• You will be working in English with our international team of top‐tier talents from 35+ countries.
• You will be able to attend diverse team events and Workations (the famous company‐wide Homa trip).
• You will have bi‐annual reviews with your manager to reflect on your performance, celebrate wins, and receive constructive feedback.
