Technical Game Designer

Scorewarrior is a game developer and publisher based in Limassol, Cyprus. The company focuses on the 4X strategy genre, with an ambitious goal to grow its hit game, Total Battle, to become the No.1 strategy game in the world. Our team consists of 200+ passionate, talented, self-driven, and continually developing professionals who love making high-quality games.

We are looking for a Technical Game Designer to join our Old Players team.

In this role, you will be responsible for configuring and maintaining complex game features, primarily live-ops systems, events, and long-lived mechanics for our most experienced players. The role is focused on data-driven configuration, balance implementation, automation, and reliability of game systems, rather than engine-level or visual scripting work.

You will work closely with game designers, analysts, and QA to ensure that features are correctly configured, scalable, and safe to operate in a live environment.

Tasks

• Configure game features, events, and live-ops mechanics in the database based on design and balance requirements

• Translate balance logic and progression rules into numerical configurations

• Optimize and automate configuration workflows using scripts (most commonly Python)

• Participate in designing configuration formats for new features at the early design stage

• Perform self-checks of configured features in the game and prepare testing requirements for QA

• Support refactoring of existing configuration tables to improve reliability and scalability

• On senior level, own and improve shared configuration and validation processes

Job requirements

• Strong experience working with Google Sheets / Excel, including formulas and structured calculations

• Experience working with SQL

• Understanding of game systems, progression, and balance logic

• Ability to work with large sets of numerical data accurately and systematically

• Attention to detail and strong analytical thinking

• Readiness to work with configuration as a core, long-term responsibility

• Ability to collaborate closely with designers, analysts, and QA

The following would also be to your advantage

• Experience with scripting or automation (Python or similar)

• Experience working with version control systems (git or equivalents)

• Experience configuring live-ops features, events, or in-game offers

• Understanding of F2P economy, progression systems, and long-lived player segments

• Experience improving or refactoring existing data structures or workflows

What we offer:

• A Great Place to Work. 99% employee satisfaction, low turnover, and colleagues who genuinely enjoy collaborating.

• Live and work in sunny Cyprus. We’re an office-first team in Limassol with a modern seaside workspace, and full relocation and visa support for you and your family.

• Shape a global hit. We’re the only European studio with a 4X strategy title in the world’s top-10. Our top-50 mobile game has grown 25x in revenue and audience in the last five years.

• Grow fast in a company that’s already strong. We’re independent, financially rock-solid, and expanding at startup speed, and we have never had lay-offs.

• Work where ideas win. Flat structure, collective decision-making, and honest feedback create full transparency and help you grow fast.

• Earn industry-leading rewards. High salaries, a 13th month, performance bonuses, and extra rewards for long service, marriage, or welcoming a child, and lunch every day.

• Feel supported at every stage of life. Private family health insurance, plus a monthly allowance for children’s pre-school, school, and university education.

• Your growth is our priority. From specialized training and certifications to language courses and books, you’ll have everything you need to keep learning.
