  • Proven experience in economy and feature balancing

  • Familiarity with spreadsheets and data analysis (SQL/Python knowledge is a plus)

  • Experience with LiveOps and F2P monetization strategies

  • 20 to 26 days of paid leave depending on the country in which your employment is registered

  • Medical support for you and your child along with paid leave if you or your child are sick

  • Individual development plan and regular feedback

  • Professional seminars, workshops, courses, and internal training programs

  • Opportunity to take an interest-free loan
