What we are looking for:

  • 3+ years of experience as a game designer in core gameplay;
  • Strong knowledge of Unreal Engine, experience with UE Blueprints, and familiarity with the Gameplay Ability System;
  • Experience with 3C (Character, Camera, Control). Non-commercial projects or prototypes will also be considered.
  • Fluent communication in Russian.

Would be a plus:

  • Technical background (e.g., technical education, experience as a programmer or technical game designer);
  • Experience in full-cycle game development;
  • Experience working in large teams;
