AI-powered external studio teams for mobile game development and live operations
UserWise builds dedicated, AI-augmented production teams for game studios, handling new titles, live-ops, and portfolio management. The hiring mix is heavily weighted toward design (nearly half of open roles) and product, with senior-leaning talent distributed globally—signaling a studio model built for hands-on creative execution rather than offshore labor arbitrage. Their tech stack is laser-focused on mobile and live-service tooling (Unity, Firebase, Amplitude, GameAnalytics, Tableau), with no recent platform shifts, suggesting a mature, stable operational foundation.

UserWise provides external development and live-ops teams to mid-market and established game studios. The company was founded in 2020 and operates across the US and EU with a distributed, senior-led workforce. Their service model covers new game development, live-service operations, growth, maintenance, and portfolio-level strategy. The tech stack centers on game engines (Unity, Unreal), mobile distribution (Google Play, iOS), analytics (Amplitude, GameAnalytics, Tableau, Power BI), and collaboration tools (Discord, Figma). Active projects span core gameplay design for casual and hybrid mobile titles, live-ops content pipelines, monetization economy tuning, and event calendar management. Common pain points among their portfolio include retention and monetization balance, live-ops content cadence, and scaling mobile performance.
Unity and Unreal Engine are the primary engines in their stack. The team also works with C#, C++, and Swift for platform-specific development, with build and debugging via Xcode Instruments and Android Studio.
Their analytics and reporting stack includes Amplitude, GameAnalytics, Firebase, Tableau, and Power BI—standard instrumentation for mobile game performance and monetization tracking.
