Lead Game Designer

Cubic Games is a game development studio and part of the GDEV holding. We’ve grown from a small team into a leading developer with over 120 specialists. Our flagship title, Pixel Gun 3D, is one of the most popular pixel shooters, with over 5 million monthly players.

We're currently working on a new project — Pixel Gun 2, a cross-platform PvP arena shooter — and we're looking for a Lead Game Designer to help us turn it into the next big hit.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Leading a team of game designers: task planning, deadlines, reviews, and mentoring.

• Translating the game vision into concrete design goals and execution.

• Designing and refining core and meta systems: progression, economy, Battle Pass, events, monetization.

• Owning features through the entire lifecycle: from concept and GDD to release and post-launch analysis.

• Working with analysts to form hypotheses and make data-driven decisions.

• Collaborating with producers, engineers, and artists to integrate features into production.

• Contributing to roadmap planning, design pipelines, and production workflows.

What We're Looking For:

• Experience as a feature owner and leading game design teams.

• Strong systemic understanding of game design: meta, balance, economy, progression.

• Strategic mindset and the ability to turn product goals into actionable design.

• Familiarity with game development pipelines, backlogs, and production processes.

• Solid documentation skills (GDDs, specs, technical briefs).

• Analytical thinking and confidence making decisions backed by data.

Nice-to-Haves:

• Experience with PvP shooters or other multiplayer projects.

• Background in balancing game economies and progression systems.

Familiarity with game engines and rapid prototyping.

What we offer:

• Official employment according to the Labor Code of Armenia or Cyprus, or a remote work contract.
• Flexibility in choosing the workplace: remote work or visiting offices in Armenia or Cyprus as desired.
• Relocation package and assistance with obtaining residence permits in Armenia, including for family members.
• 21 working days of vacation, 3 additional days off per year, and sick leave compensation up to 100%.
• Comprehensive Health Insurance from the first working day in Armenia or Cyprus.
• Professional Development Support:  course, conferences, and opportunities to participate in department workshops and masterclasses.
• Corporate online and offline events and presents for various holidays.
