Description
Summary:
This role is for an experienced mobile game engineer to evolve a high-performing live game using Objective-C and Cocos, focusing on impact and leveraging AI-assisted workflows.
Highlights:
1. Work on a live mobile game with existing traction and players
2. Utilize AI tools to accelerate development, debugging, and refactoring
3. Focus on improving and modernizing legacy codebases with real-world impact
**About Us**
At UserWise Services, we build and scale mobile games played by millions worldwide. Our focus is simple: move fast, deliver impact, and use modern tools—including AI\-assisted workflows—to accelerate development and iteration.
We’re now looking for engineers who enjoy reviving, scaling, and modernizing high\-adoption live games.
**The Role**
You’ll work on a proven, high\-performing mobile game built with Objective\-C and Cocos, helping evolve it for the next stage of growth.
This is not a “build from scratch” role—it’s about:
* Improving a live product with real users
* Making smart, high\-leverage technical decisions
* Using AI tools to accelerate development, debugging, and refactoring
**Why This Role Is Interesting**
* Work on a game that already has traction and players
* See your impact immediately in a live environment
* Use AI as a force multiplier, not just a buzzword
* Solve real engineering problems—not just greenfield abstractions
**Who This Is For**
* Engineers who enjoy fixing, improving, and evolving real products
* People who like high ownership and fast execution
* Builders who prefer impact over perfection
**Requirements** **What You’ll Do**
* Maintain and extend a legacy Objective\-C \+ Cocos codebase
* Optimize performance, memory usage, and runtime behavior for mobile
* Refactor and modernize systems without breaking live operations
* Ship features, events, and improvements in a live\-service environment
* Use AI\-assisted workflows (code generation, debugging, refactoring, test creation) to move faster
* Collaborate closely with product, design, and analytics to drive impact
* Identify quick wins vs. deep tech improvements and prioritize accordingly
**What We’re Looking For**
* Strong experience with Objective\-C and iOS development
* Hands\-on experience with Cocos (Cocos2d\-x or similar)
* Experience working on live mobile games or shipped apps
* Ability to navigate and improve legacy codebases
* Strong understanding of performance optimization (CPU, memory, rendering)
* Pragmatic mindset: you know when to refactor vs. ship
* Comfortable leveraging AI tools (e.g., Copilot, ChatGPT, etc.) as part of your workflow
**Nice to Have**
* Experience with C\+\+ (common in Cocos\-based systems)
* Familiarity with game loops, rendering pipelines, and animation systems
* Experience migrating legacy systems to modern architectures
* Exposure to analytics\-driven development (A/B testing, live ops)
**Benefits**
* Market competitive, tax\-free USD salaries
* Paid Time Off
* Performance Bonus
* Annual Performance Reviews
