Senior Game Designer

Fishing Planet is an independent game studio made up of talented and dedicated people who created a successful free-to-play game from scratch. Today, Fishing Planet is available on eight platforms — Steam, Epic Games, Microsoft Store, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and mobile (iOS and Android). Our global community now includes over 35 million players and continues to grow every day.

We are now expanding our portfolio with a new, unannounced project — a hyper-realistic simulator with elements of survival, RPG, and MMO. The game is being developed from the ground up, and you will have the opportunity to join at the very beginning of development, contributing your ideas and vision to the foundation of the project.

We are committed to continuous improvement, providing our team with the resources, tools, and environment they need to build stable, rewarding, and long-term careers — while creating ambitious games that players want to return to again and again.
