Location: Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates Who We Are At YallaPlay, We are a rapidly growing startup mobile gaming studio on a mission to bring people together through play, we create exciting mobile games that bring joy to millions of players worldwide. Founded in Austin, Texas, we’ve since expanded to Brazil and the UAE, growing our diverse and talented team of creators. We pride ourselves on a fun and collaborative work environment, with a remote-friendly culture and a dedication to producing high-quality, engaging games. Our current titles, including “Spades Masters” (iOS/Android), have been enjoyed by millions of players globally. Our passion lies in reinventing card games infusing them with fresh mechanics, beautiful design, and social features that spark connection and excitement. As we continue to scale, we’re looking for creative, driven individuals who are excited to help shape the future of multiplayer mobile gaming in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. Join us and be part of building something big from the ground up. The Opportunity We’re building a new rapid-prototyping capability at YallaPlay focused on turning game ideas into complete playable experiences quickly, using AI to dramatically shorten the path from concept to validation. We’re looking for a Senior Game Prototype Engineer who can independently design and build game prototypes from A to Z. You’ll sit at the intersection of game design, frontend engineering, backend engineering, and UI/UX, taking an initial concept and turning it into something players can actually play and evaluate. This is not a role where you wait for detailed game designs, UX specifications, or technical requirements. You’ll define the core gameplay, design the player experience, build the client and supporting backend, create or source the assets needed, and deliver a complete playable prototype. Your job is not to build production-ready games. It is to identify what needs to be tested and build the fastest complete experience capable of answering that question. You’ll work heavily with AI coding agents and modern development tools to move from idea → design → prototype → playtest → learning → next experiment at high speed. Some prototypes will survive. Most won’t. That’s expected. Success means helping us discover which ideas deserve further investment before we commit a full production team. This position can be remote or based at our state-of-the-art offices in Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, UAE. What You’ll Be Doing Take game ideas from concept to complete playable prototype, owning the process from A to Z. Define and iterate on the core game mechanics, rules, player flows, controls, progression, and overall gameplay experience. Design and implement clear, functional UI/UX that allows players to understand and properly experience the game. Build the frontend, game logic, bots, lightweight backend, multiplayer functionality, and other systems required to make the prototype fully playable. Use existing, generated, or placeholder art, animation, audio, and other assets to create a prototype that feels complete enough to evaluate fairly. Scope ideas down to their smallest meaningful testable version, focusing effort on what needs to be proven rather than building unnecessary features. Own the prototype loop end to end: define the hypothesis, build the experience, run playtests, analyze the results, and recommend whether to iterate, progress, or stop. Use AI coding agents and AI-assisted development tools as a core part of your workflow to dramatically increase development speed. Instrument prototypes with lightweight analytics where needed so decisions can be informed by player behavior as well as qualitative feedback. Iterate rapidly based on playtests, data, and feedback. When a prototype graduates, package the game rules, learnings, technical approach, and playable build for handoff to the production team. Continuously experiment with new AI tools, frameworks, and workflows that improve prototype speed and quality. What We’re Looking For What you need to have: 5+ years of professional game development experience, or an exceptional portfolio demonstrating equivalent senior-level capability. A strong portfolio of at least 5 completed playable games, prototypes, game-jam projects, or commercial titles where you had substantial hands-on ownership. Proven ability to independently take a game concept from idea to a complete playable prototype. Strong game-design instincts, including mechanics, rules, pacing, player flows, feedback, and game feel. Strong programming fundamentals with the ability to work across frontend, game logic, and lightweight backend systems. Ability to independently create functional, mobile-friendly UI/UX without relying on dedicated designers. Ability to implement bots, APIs, multiplayer functionality, game-state management, and server-side logic when the prototype requires them. Experience using AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, or similar as a core part of your development workflow. Comfortable using AI-generated, existing, or placeholder visual and audio assets to rapidly produce complete playable experiences. Comfortable working independently from an incomplete brief, making both design and technical decisions without detailed specifications. Strong judgment around what to build, what to simplify, and when the evidence says to iterate, progress, or stop. Nice to have: Experience prototyping card, board, casual, or multiplayer games. Experience with TypeScript/JavaScript and lightweight web game frameworks such as Phaser or PixiJS. Experience with server-authoritative multiplayer systems or hidden-information games. Unity experience. Experience using generative AI for art, animation, audio, or other game assets. Experience with analytics or experimentation tools. Experience taking prototypes through external player testing. How We Measure Success Success in this role is not measured by how much production code you write. It is measured by: Prototype velocity: how quickly meaningful game hypotheses become playable. Learning velocity: how quickly prototypes produce clear answers. Experiment quality: whether prototypes test the right question without unnecessary scope. Decision quality: whether evidence leads to clear iterate, progress, or stop recommendations. AI leverage: how effectively AI tools increase the amount and quality of experimentation one person can deliver. Independence: how effectively you can take an ambiguous concept and move it forward without detailed direction. Handoff quality: whether promising concepts can move into production without losing the important learnings from prototyping.

We keep things fun, respectful, and feedback-driven.

The Opportunity We are looking for a Head of Product & Monetization to lead the performance, roadmap, execution, and player experience of YallaPlay’s game portfolio. You will be the most senior product leader in the company, reporting directly to the CEO and partnering with him on every major product bet. You own what we build and why: product strategy, roadmap, monetization, economy, LiveOps strategy, product requirements, and KPI outcomes across our live games. You will lead the Product function and manage the Producer and Art Lead, ensuring Product, Production, and Art are aligned around the right roadmap, clear priorities, strong execution, high quality standards, and measurable game outcomes. This is a high-autonomy role. We are looking for someone who forms their own conclusions from data and arrives with proposals, not questions. You will not be judged by the number of documents you produce. You will be judged by the quality of your decisions, the speed of execution, the clarity of priorities, and the measurable improvement of our games. This position is based at our offices in Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, UAE. Remote will be considered for the right candidate with Gulf-hours overlap. What You’ll Be Doing Own the product roadmap and KPI outcomes for our live titles: revenue, ARPDAU, retention, LTV, conversion, engagement, and economy health. Own product discovery, prioritization logic, product requirements, feature rationale, success metrics, and post-launch decisions for major game changes. Lead monetization and economy strategy: IAP catalog and pricing, offer segmentation, season passes, VIP programs, collection systems, ad monetization, and the balance between ads and IAP. Own the LiveOps strategy across events, offers, seasonal content, player segmentation, and content cadence, ensuring LiveOps is measured and connected to retention, monetization, and long-term game health. Guide game systems and product design: progression, rewards, player journeys, UX, economy changes, and monetization experiments, using dashboards, A/B tests, player behavior, and competitor analysis to decide what to build, cut, scale, or rework. Manage the Producer and Art Lead, ensuring Product, Production, and Art are aligned with clear ownership, realistic roadmaps, on-time delivery, strong execution, and visual quality that matches the bar of the genre. Establish lightweight product discipline: assumption documentation before build, design review gates, KPI reviews after launch, and post-mortems. Build the operating rhythm across Product, Production, Art, Engineering, BI, UA, VIP Support, and AdMon: roadmap reviews, LiveOps planning, prioritization, trade-off decisions, and performance follow-ups. Identify team gaps, quality issues, process weaknesses, and resourcing needs, and drive practical fixes. What We’re Looking For What you need to have: 10+ years in mobile free-to-play games, the majority in product roles on live titles. Hands-on monetization systems experience: you have personally designed offer systems, passes, VIP economies, IAP catalogs, or similar systems and can reason about their math in detail. Ownership of revenue or retention targets for a live game, with results you can speak to. Strong analytical fluency: comfortable in dashboards, cohorts, funnels, and A/B results, and able to pull your own numbers when needed. Strong product judgment across game systems, player journeys, progression, rewards, UX, LiveOps, economy, and monetization. Experience leading cross-functional teams across product, production, design, and art, including managing experienced leads without absorbing their jobs. Clear, direct communication in English, and comfort working with a multicultural remote team across time zones. Strong execution judgment: able to simplify roadmaps, cut low-value work, resolve trade-offs, and push teams toward measurable outcomes. Strong Advantage: Depth in card, board, casual, or real-time multiplayer games. Experience managing both product and creative/art functions. VIP and whale engagement, segmentation, and personalized monetization. Ad mediation, placement strategy, and ad revenue optimization. Taking games from soft launch to global launch and live operations. Familiarity with MENA markets or Arabic. Unity and mobile production pipelines; SQL or similar data skills. The Person Who Will Succeed in This Role You are not only a strategist. You are an operator. You can look at a dashboard and spot what matters. You can review a roadmap and immediately see what is bloated, weak, or missing. You can sit with artists and discuss visual quality, then move to a KPI review and challenge monetization assumptions. You can tell the CEO what is working, what is not, and what needs to happen next, in two minutes. You are comfortable making decisions with incomplete information. You move fast, but not blindly. You are direct, practical, and accountable. You do not wait for the perfect process before acting. Why YallaPlay What You Get A senior compensation package. Relocation support and UAE visa sponsorship for Abu Dhabi; remote flexibility for the right candidate. Direct partnership with the CEO and genuine decision authority. A funded company with multi-year runway and a profitable flagship game. The chance to shape a multi-game studio's product practice from the ground up. Generous paid time off, your birthday off, and a learning budget. How We Hire Intro conversation, then a product craft deep-dive, then a short practical exercise based on real anonymized product data, then team conversations, references, and offer. We move quickly and tell you where you stand at every step. When you apply, please include your CV and, where possible, examples of games, features, LiveOps, monetization systems, or performance improvements you have led. YallaPlay is an equal-opportunity employer. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds and nationalities.
