Senior Game Designer

Cubic Games is a development studio and part of the GDEV holding. What started as a small team has grown into a game development studio with more than 120 professionals on board.

Our mission is to create unique pixel-style games. We are the developers of the popular shooter Pixel Gun 3D, played by over 5 million users worldwide every month.

Why this role might interest you

• You’ll join an experienced development team with well-established processes and the freedom to exchange knowledge and ideas with talented colleagues.
• We combine the agility and speed of a mid-sized company with the ambition and drive of a startup — creating a dynamic, inspiring environment for creativity and growth.
• At Cubic Games, we value open communication, mutual support, and continuous learning. You’ll have a high level of autonomy and the opportunity to make meaningful decisions that shape our games.
• Here, you’ll contribute to titles played by millions of people around the world — and be part of a team that sets clear goals and builds with purpose.

What you’ll be doing

• Configure and integrate new gameplay mechanics and core systems in Unity and spreadsheets (balance, parameters, configs).

• Design and document new features and mechanics — create GDDs and ensure quality implementation.

• Build and fine-tune FTUE and early game sessions to deliver an engaging and intuitive onboarding experience.

• Set up and optimize gameplay loops (core, daily, weekly, and LiveOps).

• Maintain detailed documentation and balance sheets (GDDs, configs, analytical reports).

• Manage and support gameplay configs in the production pipeline, collaborating closely with programmers and QA.

• Analyze key metrics (retention, conversion, session length) to identify problem areas and growth opportunities.

• Evaluate new content performance through player engagement and conversion data.

• Review player feedback and community insights, forming hypotheses for game improvements.

• Participate in brainstorms and idea generation for feature and content updates.

• Collaborate with producers, designers, and analysts during planning and development.

What we’re looking for

• 5+ years of experience as a Game Designer on mobile titles.

• 3+ years of hands-on experience with Unity — confident working with game data, prefabs, and configs.

• Fluent Russian is required for this role.

• Strong skills in Excel / Google Sheets / Notion / Confluence for balancing and documentation.

• Understanding of FTUE and UX patterns for new player retention.

• Knowledge of F2P monetization principles and how design choices impact ARPU and retention.

• Experience working with analytics and using data to inform design decisions.

• Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with technical and creative teams.

Why we love working here

• Flexible work format — remote or from our offices in Yerevan or Cyprus.

• Official employment under the Armenian Labor Code or via remote contract from another country.

• Transparent conditions: white salary, 21 paid vacation days, 3 additional days off per year, and 100% paid sick leave.

• Health insurance (DMS) from day one (available in Armenia and Cyprus).

• Professional development support: workshops, masterclasses, and internal learning programs.

• Corporate events, gifts, and holiday bonuses.
