Lead C++ Software Engineer (Gameplay)

We have big plans for the growth and development of our projects, which is why we are looking for the strongest experts to join our development teams.

That said, experience in C++ and/or game development is not at all necessary: ​​we have an excellent adaptation system for a comfortable transition for beginners from Unity and from other industries.

Development teams are at the core of our company. They are the reason that our games have continued to grow and improve for 21 years. 

The Lead Software Engineer is the driver of the technical development of a product who leads and develops the team in terms of architecture, quality, development culture, and engineering practices.

In each project we have the following areas: 

• Feature: develop events and mini-games from scratch (ranging from various competitions to mini-games like Merge)
• Technical: optimization, technical stability support, SDK (reducing loading speed, memory consumption, etc.)
• Match-3 and meta: working with graphics and basic mechanics of the game (adding new functionality, refactoring and optimization)

Responsibilities

• People management: responsible for development, hiring/firing, team evaluation  
• Development of processes within teams (both at the team level and at the level of the entire development of the project)

Nice to have

• Confident knowledge of modern C++ 14/17 standards, as well as STL
• Experience working with popular game engines (Unity, Unreal, Godot, Cocos2D, Defold, etc.)
• Experience developing casual mobile games
