About The Position

Scopely’s AI-native incubation team is focused on discovering the next generation of mobile games by rapidly turning ideas into playable experiences, launching them to real players, and learning from live market feedback. The team uses AI to help creators work across traditional discipline boundaries and take greater ownership from concept through launch. The Producer creates the structure, workflows, and momentum that enable a small AI-native team to move quickly from idea to live game. The role shapes schedules and roadmaps, keeps shared development work moving, manages builds and releases, and contributes hands-on to prototype and game development. The position can be remote in the US or hybrid in Culver City, Los Angeles.

Experience coordinating builds, QA, platform submissions, releases, and post-launch updates.
Strong organizational and communication skills, with the ability to create clarity and momentum in ambiguous environments.
