  • Creating and maintaining GDDs, specs, balance files, and other design documentation

  • Collaborating closely with developers and artists to ensure successful feature implementation

  • Creating requirements for statistical tools, simulations, and other analysis methods, using them to validate and optimize game balance

What we expect

  • At least 4 years of experience as a Game Designer

  • 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

  • Passion for researching, iterating, and improving design ideas based on competitor analysis

  • Strong communication skills for cross-team collaboration and feature pitching

  • English language skills at the Upper Intermediate level or higher

What we offer

  • Officially registered full-time employment

  • 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

  • Reimbursement of gym membership fees, and running club 

  • Opportunity for counseling with psychologists

*Note: Full benefits package will vary depending on whether the successful applicant lives in Poland or Ukraine.
