Role Overview
Genies is seeking a contract Lead Full Stack Engineer to guide the technical direction, architecture, and execution of our avatar-driven digital products. You'll be a player-coach — leading by example as a hands-on contributor while mentoring a team of talented engineers. Reporting directly to the Director of Software Engineering and Infrastructure, you'll drive technical excellence, champion engineering best practices, and ensure scalable, performant solutions across the stack.
This is a high-impact role for an engineer who thrives on mentorship, system design, and building cohesive teams that ship complex, user-facing systems at the intersection of AI, game technology, and UGC creation tools. We move fast at Genies, and we expect our lead engineers to move fast with us — leveraging AI as a force multiplier while holding the bar on quality, clarity, and correctness.
