Hi! We are creating a mobile RPG with an open world and deep social mechanics.

Our project is a living digital city where players can build careers, own property, interact with other players, earn money, and choose their own path - from law enforcement to becoming a member of a street gang.

We are looking for a Product Owner to lead the development of the Core direction of the project. This role is responsible for key game systems that directly impact player retention, engagement, and long-term progression.

The role sits at the intersection of systems game design, product management, and team leadership. For which tasks (responsibilities)?

• Own Core Gameplay and social gameplay systems that drive player engagement and overall player experience quality.

• Analyze player behavior, develop hypotheses, run experiments, and evaluate their impact on key product metrics.
• Design concepts for new mechanics, systems, and improvements to the player experience.
• Create product briefs and support initiatives throughout the entire production cycle.
• Coordinate the team’s work and ensure features are delivered on time and with the required quality.
• Identify and remove blockers that affect task completion and business goals.
• Deeply understand the product by actively playing the game and analyzing the player journey across all stages of progression.
• Conduct competitor research and analyze market best practices to identify new product opportunities.

• Experience working on GTA-like, Sandbox, MMO, or Social RP projects.

• Experience independently owning game systems, features, or product areas in GaaS projects.
• Strong understanding of Core Gameplay, social game systems, player retention, and player motivation.
• Ability to identify product growth opportunities through player behavior analysis, product metrics, and qualitative research.
• Ability to independently formulate and validate product hypotheses.
• Experience making data-driven decisions based on analytics and product metrics.
• Experience managing a team or coordinating cross-functional specialists.
• Ability to prioritize tasks based on their potential impact on product metrics and implementation costs.

Nice to have:

• Experience designing and developing long-term game systems and core gameplay.
• Experience working with SQL, BI systems, or product analytics tools.
• Experience managing a team of game designers or product specialists.
• Experience launching and scaling large gameplay systems in a live environment.

Why do we enjoy working here?

• Fully remote work.

• Flexible schedule - we focus on results, not hours worked.
• The opportunity to work on a growing game project with an active community and directly influence the product’s development.
• Fast iterations and minimal bureaucracy - decisions are made quickly, and ideas can be implemented without lengthy approval processes.
• Private health insurance after the probation period.
