Gameplay Engineer (World of Warships)
Job Overview
Wargaming is looking for a Gameplay Engineer to work in the World of Warships Meta Team in our Belgrade office.
The Meta Team develops and maintains long-term, player-facing systems, including meta-gameplay activities, player progression and property, combat missions, achievements, and statistics. The work spans the game client and supporting backend systems, focusing on meta-gameplay rather than moment-to-moment combat.
Most feature and business logic is written in Python. We value clear thinking, the ability to understand unfamiliar systems, and a willingness to learn more than experience with any particular framework. You will join through a proven onboarding path and progressively take ownership of feature delivery in a large, established system.
What will you do?
Own features from requirements clarification and design through implementation, release, and maintenance
Develop and maintain meta-gameplay features across client and backend systems
Work with persistent state, asynchronous flows, and integrations
Investigate bugs, state inconsistencies, and production issues
Collaborate with game design, product, QA, production, and engineering teams
What are we looking for?
Practical software development experience, professional or through substantial self-directed projects
Ability to understand and safely modify unfamiliar code
Understanding of data modelling, stateful and asynchronous applications
Ability to clarify requirements and communicate technical findings clearly
Self-directed learning, curiosity, and strong communication skills
Technical English for documentation, code, and comments
Readiness to work in Belgrade, Serbia
Technology stack
Game server/client development: Python 2.7, proprietary pipelines
Web development: Python 3.10+, asyncio
What additional skills will help you stand out?
Experience with FastAPI or Django
Knowledge of Golang or C++
Understanding of frontend development with JavaScript/TypeScript
Experience maintaining long-lived production systems
Experience diagnosing concurrency, state, or integration issues
Experience with generated code or schema-driven systems
A game mod, private server, bot, emulator, or reverse-engineering project
We are looking forward to welcoming specialists to the team. We are ready to mentor you and help with everything you may need to succeed in the role.
