Join the Play of Battle Team - Senior Game Designer (On-site Only)

At Play of Battle, we are creating an innovative Grand Strategy/RTS game that aims to redefine the genre. We are looking for an experienced, visionary Senior Game Designer to join our team in Warsaw.

This isn't a position where you'll just follow orders or tweak minor numbers. As a Senior Game Designer, you will hold the reins of core gameplay systems, shape the game's economy, and directly influence the overall creative vision. If you have a proven track record of shipping complex, system-driven games (with strategy titles being a massive bonus) and a profound understanding of military history, this is your opportunity to leave a lasting mark on the genre.

What We’re Looking For:

• Strong logical and mathematical skills for game economy and combat balancing
• Communicator who can clearly present and justify design decisions
• Systems design expert who understands balance and how to make complex mechanics approachable
• You must be deeply passionate about Grand Strategy, 4X, RTS, and tactical games (think Paradox Interactive titles, Total War, Civilization, etc.). Send us your Steam profile, We will definitely test your knowledge of these genres and their mechanics during the recruitment process
• You are deeply interested in military history, geopolitics, or modern warfare. You know your armor, tactics, and timelines, and you are ready to show us that passion in a casual chat during the interview
