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. If you work with Unity, but would like to try your hand at C++, we'll help you make that transition. We offer a special bootcamp and our own Unity-like engine. Many developers have successfully switched to C++ with us and are already making their own unique contribution to the company's results.

In each project we have the following areas:

  • Feature: develop events and mini-games from scratch (ranging from various competitions to mini-games like Merge)

  • Technical: optimization, technical stability support, SDK (reducing loading speed, memory consumption, etc.)

  • Match-3 and meta: working with graphics and basic game mechanics (adding new functionality, refactoring and optimization) 

Tasks

  • Program game mechanics and logic

  • Design and review the architecture of features

  • Program UI and visual effects

  • Profile and optimize the game for memory and frame rate

  • Mentor junior specialists

  • Conduct code review

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

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

  • Experience in developing projects released in production

  • Architecture design experience

Preferred

  • Confident knowledge of modern C++ 14/17 standards, as well as STL

  • Experience in game development

  • Experience working with popular game engines (Unity, Unreal, Godot, Cocos2D, Defold, etc.)

  • Experience developing for mobile platforms (iOS, Android)

  • Experience working with computer graphics 

We offer

  • Tasks that require you to make effective and complex architectural decisions as well as opportunities to apply interesting programming approaches

  • The opportunity to advance your career and/or move between departments beyond just development (Project Management, marketing, etc.)

  • An emphasis on developing each specialist's product visionTime to play the games that you're developing, so you can envision how this or that feature will work for the user

  • The ability to switch out processes and approaches for more efficient ones without lengthy approvals or bureaucracy

Our Perks

Flexibility at work

  • For most positions we offer a flexible schedule, and employees can work from anywhere in the world (except for the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus). You can do your work however and wherever you like — we only evaluate your results.

Caring for health and well-being
  • We provide voluntary health insurance for employees and their children, and reimburse online sessions with a psychologist.
  • We offer fully paid vacation days and sick leave. In certain circumstances, you can request additional days off.
  • We support leading a healthy lifestyle and reimburse the cost of gym memberships and fitness app subscriptions.
Professional development and education
  • We pay for participation in specialized conferences and courses and hold our own internal conferences.
  • We offer discounts on English language courses and courses for the languages of the countries in which the company operates.
Events and merch
  • We regularly hold offline events like team meetings, big corporate parties, and informal office parties.
  • We also regularly organize fun competitions, quizzes, hackathons, and online fitness challenges.
  • We have a merch store with an internal currency you can use to buy unique gifts. We give out this currency as a gift for significant dates, and you can earn more by participating in events and company activities.
