Team, about the role

We have big plans for the growth and development of our projects, which is why we are looking for the strongest experts to join our development teams.

Development of a tool for transferring event content between projects
Development of tools that increase development efficiency: for example, an editor for Match-3 levels
Implementing offline functionality for the app
Revising the game to improve quality and stability, preparing a list of changes and subsequently implementing them

Our stack

Languages: C++, and Lua and Python for single tasks
Graphics: OpenGL ES and Metal
Our own engine, similar to Unity or Unreal, which we are constantly developing ()
Advanced CI/CD, automated testing, code review processes and much more

Requirements

5+ years of experience in developing commercial projects in C++ and/or Unity
