Head of Game Production (Casino Originals)
About Block Labs
Block Labs is a premier technology studio operating at the bleeding edge of Web3, Artificial Intelligence, and iGaming. We don't just ship features; we engineer high-scale, production-grade platforms that power the next generation of digital products.
We are a collective of senior engineers, product strategists, and builders who refuse to compromise on architecture. Whether we are designing autonomous multi-agent AI systems, building decentralized financial infrastructure, or architecting high-frequency iGaming platforms, our standard is excellence.
We move fast, but we build for the long term. If you are looking to work alongside a team that values deep technical expertise, thoughtful system design, and product ownership, Block Labs is where you belong.
The Role
We are hiring a Head of Game Production to own the strategy, production, and commercial performance of our growing portfolio of owned casino games, including table game variants, slots, crash-style games, and other originals.
These games have quickly become the highest-performing content inside one of our casinos. We are now scaling this into a repeatable competitive advantage for our upcoming white-label casino provider.
This is a senior product and production leadership role for someone who can turn game concepts into shipped, monetising, high-quality products, selecting the right partners for the right concepts while building the internal product and design function around it.
You will have strategic mandate over the roadmap, with the accountability to decide which titles are built, iterated, or sunset.
If successful, you will help lead the transition from external execution into an internal games studio over time, with potential acquisition and integration upside.
Core Accountability
You own the end-to-end game production system that turns stakeholder requirements into a stable, compliant, performant product portfolio, and keep them running profitably in live environments.
