Mobile social games and avatar platforms serving 160M+ players globally
Coconé operates a portfolio of social gaming and avatar-creation services across 6 countries with 9 development hubs. The stack—C#, Go, Kotlin, Java, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Unity, Cocos2d-x—supports a high-scale, multi-platform consumer product. Notably, the company is adopting GitHub Copilot, OpenAI, Gemini, and Claude across the engineering org while grappling with mid-level leadership gaps and uneven animation expertise, suggesting they're scaling AI-assisted development faster than their internal mentorship infrastructure can absorb.
Coconé builds social games and digital avatar platforms, including Pokécollo, Pokécollo Twin, Livery Island, and Purenista, which together reach over 160 million players worldwide. The company has generated over 1 million types of digital assets and 30 billion individual items. Engineering is the dominant department (28 of 37 open roles), with senior-focused hiring and concentrated focus in Japan. Core challenges include maintaining stability across legacy payment systems, scaling Unity development velocity, and embedding AI-assisted workflows while addressing mid-tier leadership shortages.
