Key Highlights

- Fastest-growing mobile game studio in Ukraine (DOU, 2025)
- Full in-house pipeline: development, live ops, analytics, and publishing
- A deeply data-driven approach to product and team development
We are seeking an experienced Senior Mobile SDK Developer to create and maintain our cross-platform solution. The ideal candidate should have a deep understanding of mobile technologies, network protocols, and data security, as well as significant experience in developing SDKs for critical systems.
What you'll do:
- Own the Rust core: service logic, networking, data sync, offline mode.
- Build and maintain native layers: Kotlin with JNI, Swift with C interop, C# with P/Invoke for Unity.
- Design and maintain the API our internal product teams build on, including backward compatibility.
- Handle builds, packaging, and releases across all supported platforms.
Must-have:
- 5+ years of overall engineering experience; 1+ year of Rust in production (yes, one year — we care about engineering maturity, not just Rust tenure).
- Confident with async, threads, synchronization, queues, and deadlock debugging.
- Practical FFI experience: extern "C", JNI, memory management across the language boundary.
- Experience with local databases, including version-to-version migration and resilient-first / data-preservation-first design.
- Comfortable building under real constraints: limited RAM, disk, and battery.
- At least one or two platform stacks — Android, Apple, Unity, or Windows (not all four; the architecture is documented and patterns are consistent, so you'll pick up the rest on the job).
- Experience shipping and maintaining an SDK or library used by other teams.
- English at a level comfortable reading/writing technical documentation.
- A macOS machine to work from (required for building the Apple targets — no way around this one).
If your Rust is under a year but you've got real C++, C, or Zig experience — reach out, let's talk.
Nice to have:
- uniffi or similar binding generators.
- CI/CD and package publishing experience (SwiftPM, Maven, UPM).
- In-app purchases (Play Billing, StoreKit).
- Game development experience.
- Mobile binary size optimization.
What we offer:
- 100% payment of vacations and sick leave [20 days vacation, 22 days sick leave], medical insurance.
- A team of the best professionals in the games industry.
- Flexible schedule [start of work from 8 to 11, 8 hours/day].
- L&D center with courses.
- Self-learning library, access to paid courses.
- Stable payments.
The recruitment process:
CV review → Interview with TA → Interview with Full-stack Developer → Final Interview with CTO → Job offer
If you share our goals and values and are eager to join a team of dedicated professionals, we invite you to take the next step.
