As a part of our company, we are organizing a small team of 2-4 people to work on our own hyper-casual titles. We are looking for a game designer to lead this team and develop hyper-casual games. You will have freedom in idea generation and implementation. You will work with either Unity or Unreal Engine base on the team experience.

The team will work by quickly iterating over gameplay ideas, here is roughly how the cycle will look like (you are probably already familiar with it):

- Come up with the gameplay idea
- Build a rough prototype
- Record the gameplay for a video ad on Facebook, run the ads, and see if it matches certain KPIs
- If yes, build a new version for publishing and soft launch
- If not, change, iterate or ditch the idea and start the cycle again

**Responsibilities:**
- Generating ideas for hyper-casual games and building prototypes for these games;
- Developing mechanics, creating levels and balancing the gameplay and monetization strategies;
- Building simple game prototypes (you will work closely with devs but you should be able to do simple scripting/blueprints);
- Working closely with developers to implement the game;
- Leading the whole cycle of the game production and coordinating the team effort;
- Helping us analyze the analytics and other data.

**Requirements:**
- Experience developing mechanics and casual game prototypes
- Willingness to iterate fast on multiple small ideas at the same time.
- Willingness to learn C# scripting (if Unity) or Blueprints (if Unreal Engine)

**Would be a plus:**
- C# Scripting experience in Unity or experiences with blueprints in Unreal Engine is a huge plus;
- Experience with monetization setup and configuration of ad mediation

**We offer:**
- 💰  Competitive salary depending on experience and skills;
- 💰  We are open to discussing revenue sharing model if any of the games are a success;
- 💻  Powerful workstation/laptop machine;
- 🌴  20 days paid vacation, 7 days paid sick leave;
- 🏢  Comfortable and modern office not far from the city center;
- 🇬🇧  English lessons covered by the company;
- 🎃  Regular corporate events;
- 🍕  Monthly Team Building and Pizza Day.

**Other info:**
- There is a fully-compensated 3 month trial period;
- We are currently looking for people working in the office (Lviv, Heroiv UPA Str.). But if you are not considering working in the office anymore, reach us out anyways, maybe we can think about some kind of partnership as we are always looking for great talents.
