About the company

and are in the top 3 worldwide. Our games have been installed 2.3 billion times (that's a third of the world's population!) and more than 30 million people around the world play them every day.

Team, about the role

The Technology Department is developing a world-class game engine that is complex, can multitask, and is comparable in scale to Unity. The engine covers all low-level areas (Render, working with SDK, network and resources) and complex editors. Our goal is to create the best games in the industry, so we are looking for the strongest experts to join our team. There will be challenges along the way, but we can promise they'll be interesting. If this sounds up your alley, we look forward to hearing from you.

Experience in game development is not necessary: ​​we have developed an adaptation system to ensure a comfortable transition for specialists coming from other industries.

Tasks

  • development and improvement of editors, utilities for game development 

  • creation of tools (CLI - python, GUI editor - C++ and their interaction) for working with resources

  • development of a pipeline for converting resources from a "raw" form (png/.fla/.fbx, ...) into an optimal form for the internal engine 

  • development and improvement of technical subsystems of the game engine, profiling and optimization

  • reorganization of the asset system to support multi-threaded loading

  • development of the low-level part of Render

  • development of a system for working with graphic resources (atlases, shaders, materials)

Our stack

  • C++ and Python

  • 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 Python (experience in gamedev is a plus)

  • architecture design experience

  • cross-platform development experience

Preferred

  • experience developing for iOS or Android

  • knowledge of OpenGL/OpenGL ES

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

We offer

  • Our team consists only of strong expert programmers, so there is always someone to learn from. All current managers are current or former engineers. 

  • The option to move between areas, not only within development (Project Management, Marketing, etc.).

  • Tasks that require the ability to make safe and effective architectural decisions, as well as apply interesting programming approaches in practice.

  • 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.
