The posting

Job Overview

We’re looking for an Encounter Designer to help shape the next generation of event modes for World of Tanks at Wargaming. As a senior member of the event team, you will define and champion the combat experience and encounter philosophy behind our seasonal and limited-time modes.

What will you do?

  • Act as the bridge that connects player combat, enemy combat, and level design teams.
  • Own and advocate for the full combat experience, making sure player abilities, enemy behaviour, and encounter design fit together into engaging gameplay.
  • Design, prototype, and refine player combat systems, enemy mechanics, encounters, and moment-to-moment gameplay.
  • Set up combat and encounter design frameworks, standards, and best practices so that several feature teams can build at scale.
  • Build combat encounters that challenge players, reward mastery, allow for different playstyles, and support progression goals.
  • Analyse player feedback, telemetry, and playtest results to find ways to improve combat feel, pacing, difficulty, and engagement.
  • Work with leadership to spot risks, agree on priorities, and keep combat work aligned with the wider goals of the game.
  • Hold a high bar for quality, accessibility, usability, and player experience throughout development.

What are we looking for?

  • Deep knowledge of combat design fundamentals, including pacing, responsiveness, game feel, encounter design, progression, and player mastery.
  • Substantial hands-on experience building and balancing combat systems for action games.
  • Strong skills in gameplay prototyping, iterative development, tuning, and using playtests to guide design decisions.
  • Experience working closely with engineering teams to turn design goals into solid, reliable gameplay features
  • Excellent written and spoken communication, with the ability to explain design intent clearly and give feedback people can act on.
  • Hands-on experience with current game development tools and engines
  • Solid grasp of what motivates and engages players, how progression systems work, and how great gameplay keeps players coming back.
  • Thorough knowledge of game development pipelines and of how disciplines work together in production.

Work mode

  • Remote (from anywhere within Ukraine).
  • This role isn't eligible for relocation & immigration support.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
