**About Astrocade** Astrocade is a UGC gaming platform where anyone can turn an idea into a playable, shareable game in days, not months. Think YouTube, but for games. We've grown to more than 20 million users within just a few months of launch, and we're only getting started. Backed by Sequoia, NVIDIA, and Google, Astrocade was founded by Amir Sadeghian (Stanford PhD), Ali Sadeghian (Ex-Google Research), and Fei-Fei Li (Godmother of AI). We're building the infrastructure for a new era of interactive entertainment. **About The Role** Games are more engaging, more meaningful, and more fun than passive content --- and we think everyone should be able to make them.

You'll own the creation and play experiences that millions of users touch every day, working at the intersection of product intuition, AI-generated content, and consumer-grade polish.
