Job description

We're looking for a Marketing Developer to join the creative marketing team behind a new mobile 4X strategy game in development at Goodgame Studios, part of the Stillfront Group. Our marketing is creative-led. We acquire players through video and playable ads, and we hold our work to the standard of the best creative in the genre.

YOUR MISSION

• Build 3D playable ads from scratch. Fast-loading, self-contained, and engineered to convert in paid UA campaigns
• Build lightweight minigames and prototypes in Unity
• Package and finalize playables for the major networks (Unity, Google, AppLovin), respecting each one's MRAID, size, and CTA rules
• Design custom setups, including animations, scenes, environments, skins, rebranding, and code changes for creative video production
• Comfort using AI tools in the production workflow (welcome and encouraged – just tell us where you used them)

YOUR BACKSTORY

• Hands-on playable ad experience for mobile game
• At least +3 years of experience in a similar role
• Working knowledge of Unity and C#, enough to build marketing minigames and to reason about what transfers between Unity and the HTML5 playable ads
• Knowledge of the single-file, no-network, MRAID, and size constraints of the major ad networks, and how to hit them without killing the experience

BIG PLUS

• Node.js for build scripts and build automation
• Experience in Idle Arcade genre mechanics
• 3D asset basics (Blender) and an eye for what makes a casual mechanic satisfying

What You Can Expect

• Full ownership of the ad units you build, from mechanic through build to delivery
• A new game heading into launch, where your creative helps decide who tries it
• An environment where AI tools are welcome and you can use them without justifying it
• A collaborative, international team at one of Europe's leading mobile and live-service game studios

How We Hire

Shortlisted candidates receive a three-task paid case study plus a short creative concept write-up. The tasks mirror the day-to-day work: a teardown of a reference playable, a small playable built from our assets, and packaging that build to a named network's spec.
