    , and 
    agile workflows
  • Ability to work independently, iterate fast, and deliver clean, maintainable code
  • English required; 
    Russian language a strong advantage
     (internal comms)

Nice to Have

  • Experience with mobile optimization (iOS/Android)
  • Knowledge of 
    AR/VR frameworks
  • Basic understanding of monetization systems and leaderboards
  • Experience integrating 
    analytics, user accounts, or cloud saves
