Project Manager (вакансія неактивна)

About us

Fishing Planet game studio is a group of talented and dedicated people, who created a successful F2P game from scratch that is now available on 5 platforms — Steam, PlayStation, Xbox and Mobile — both iOS and Android. As for now our community has over 18 million players from all over the world and keeps growing. We constantly improve our game and provide our team with resources and environment needed to foster stable, rewarding and life-long careers while developing the best hardware-can-provide experience and atmosphere of fishing for our players.

Creation of a F2P simulator game is equal to creation of a unique universe with its own physics, graphics, complex server infrastructure, tools, etc. You will have an opportunity to challenge your skills in many areas and learn a lot.

With a strong belief that work-life balance is one of the key components of company success, we transitioned to a 4 days working week over two years ago. The work is fully remote so you can work from anywhere in the world, but there is also a comfortable office in Kyiv that you can use if you prefer. You will have 16 days of vacation each year and we strongly encourage everyone to have a proper rest and take a two weeks long vacation every year.
