// Open Role at Voodoo
Founded in 2013, Voodoo is a tech company that creates mobile games and apps with a mission to entertain the world. Gathering 800 employees, 7 billion downloads, and over 200 million active users, Voodoo is the #3 mobile publisher worldwide in terms of downloads after Google and Meta. Our portfolio includes chart-topping games like Mob Control and Block Jam, alongside popular apps such as BeReal and Wizz.
BeReal stands for authenticity in social media: one notification a day, unfiltered photos and videos, real friends. 40M+ people use BeReal every month, and they all post at the same moment. Since joining Voodoo, BeReal has returned to growth with a healthy business model and $50M in revenue this year. The opportunity is clear: people want an alternative to Instagram and TikTok. Our ambition is to make BeReal the leader in authentic social, used by hundreds of millions.
You will lead BeReal’s engineering organization: 12 squads, around 80 people across tech and product, three codebases (iOS, Android, Backend). You will report directly to BeReal’s CEO. Your mandate: app stability at spike scale, faster squads without regressions, infrastructure cost under control, and a higher talent bar.
What you'll do:

Run 12 squads across three codebases: release discipline, feature flags, platform, developer experience
