• 1–2 years of experience as a Technical Game Designer or Game Designer with a technical focus;
• Solid knowledge of the Unity game engine;
• Experience with visual scripting tools (Blueprints or equivalents);
• Understanding of how core game systems work: object interactions, UI, AI, and gameplay events;
• Experience working with configuration files, data tables, and balancing tools;
• Strong team collaboration skills and the ability to communicate ideas clearly.

Nice to Have:

• Experience working with in-engine tools and creating custom development tools;
• Background in level design;
• Skills in developing UX/UI logic and user interaction flow;
• Previous experience in a game development studio on released projects.

• Competitive salary based on experience and contribution 12 000 - 20 000 MDL;
• Office-based position (Monday to Friday, 9:00–18:00);
• Cozy office environment in Chișinău with good vibes, plenty of coffee, tea, cookies, and a very opinionated office cat;
