You will join a new Live Studio focused on Helix Jump, one of Voodoo’s most iconic hypercasual hits.

Our ambition is to give Helix Jump a second life: preserve what made it successful, improve the quality and game feel, and evolve it into a stronger hybrid-casual / casual live game.

You will be part of a small, lean, and ambitious team with high ownership and fast iteration.

We are looking for a Senior Game Developer with strong Unity expertise and a good understanding of mobile F2P games.

Your first mission will be to improve the core gameplay: game feel, controls, physics, feedback, pacing, difficulty, animations, VFX, and overall polish.

You will:

• Work on the full game experience, from core gameplay to polish and performance
• Write robust, scalable, and maintainable Unity/C# code
• Improve controls, physics, responsiveness, animations, transitions, particles, and feedback
• Optimize performance across low-end and high-end devices
• Monitor and improve loading time, frame rate, memory usage, crash rate, and ANRs
• Collaborate closely with Product and Art to improve game feel without hurting performance
• Support fast iteration loops through analytics, A/B testing, and technical event tracking
• Contribute ideas to improve the game and help evolve it beyond its original hypercasual format

You have:

• 5+ years of professional game development experience
• Strong experience with Unity/C#
• Solid mobile F2P experience, ideally in hybrid-casual, casual, or midcore games
• Strong knowledge of Unity UI, physics, animation, particle systems, transitions, and tweens
• Good understanding of mobile performance optimization, profiling, memory, loading times, crashes, and ANRs
• Experience working with product teams on fast iterations, analytics, and A/B testing
• A strong sense of game feel, polish, simplicity, and player experience
• Good communication skills in English

Nice to have:

• Experience with CI/CD pipelines
• Experience with physics-based or highly game-feel-driven games
• Experience improving an existing live game
• Experience working in small, autonomous teams

We value people who are proactive, resourceful, self-disciplined, open to feedback, and motivated by measurable product impact.

• Best-in-class compensation
• Other benefits according to the country you reside
