• Manage CI/CD pipelines, automated checks, branch strategy, store submissions, and hot‑fix processes.
• Integrate and maintain analytics, telemetry, remote configuration, feature flags, A/B testing, attribution (including SKAN), and in‑app purchase flows.
• Keep SDKs and platform requirements up‑to‑date, covering ad mediation, analytics, push notifications, and store policies for iOS/Android.
• Partner with QA to define test strategies and raise release quality.

Required profile

• 5+ years of software engineering experience with at least 2 years shipping mobile games in Unity/C#.
