Ironbird Creations is a new studio based in Cracow. We currently have 20+ people on board, and we are looking for talented individuals who would like to join us on our journey to create fast-paced, engaging, combat-focused games.

As Senior Combat Designer you’ll be working on creating mind blowing in-game encounters in close cooperation with our Creative Director and Design Team. Our project is heavily combat-oriented so you’ll have a big impact on the final shape of the game. 

Interested? Let’s discuss the details!

Software / Tools we use at IBC:

Unity, Blender / Maya, Plastic (version control systems), Houdini, Substance Painter, Photoshop, Jira, Confluence, Discord – depending on your field of expertise, you will be working on the chosen few from that list.

You probably wonder about your tasks:

• Building interesting and engaging melee combo trees using the weapons available in the game
• Designing enemy archetypes, their attacks and behaviors in line with the overall design of the project
• Designing boss fight encounters, mini boss fights in a fantasy game (human-monster fight)

Our requirements:

• You have 2-3 years of relevant experience or / and 3-4 completed projects on your account that fully reflect your abilities (generally, we try to avoid measuring your skillset in years and instead focus on what you can actually do – so even if you don’t match these requirements you are still free to hit us up! 😊)
• Use of written English that enables you to produce reliable and complete documentation in that language (don't worry if speaking English is not your forte, though - long as you are familiar with gamedev terminology and can use it daily, you should be fine)
• You possess enough technical know-how to iterate and work with different ideas
• Massive knowledge of combat oriented games (action games, fighting games, slashers etc.,)

Bonus points? Sure:

• You can easily tell the difference between Narrative Design and the Story
• You know how to implement narrative elements in the game-engine
• One or more of the projects you worked on were combat focused? Great!
• You’ve worked previously in Jira / Confluence – it will be easy for you to get on board with us

Ok, nice. But what’s in it for you?

• You decide how to complete the tasks you get. You are the pro. We trust you
• Flexible working hours (core hours: 10:30-15:30)
• A competitive salary (Employment Contract or B2B) – let’s talk – we want to meet your expectations
• MultiSport membership, Medical Health program, Language Pack, and more awesome benefits to come as we level up in the future

What are you waiting for? Let's create awesome games together!
