We offer

An opportunity for continuous professional development on an expert team of game designers and producers: we have a huge knowledge base and a mentoring system that allows you to adapt quickly.
Virtually unlimited resources and access to leading specialists from any department to solve the most complex problems.
Cross-product initiatives. For example, we are constantly experimenting with and introducing new technologies: AI to speed up pre-production and to calibrate the difficulty of levels using bots on neural networks, ML to introduce personalization of the gaming experience.
The ability to move between areas and not only within one product (LiveOps development, new games in production, marketing creatives), and the opportunity to participate in the development of cross-product initiatives that reach the level of the entire company.
The freedom 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.
