Product Owner Booster

ChillBase studio is an independent and innovative player in the gaming industry. We’re fueled by our passion for crafting outstanding products.

Our flagship project, One State, is currently in soft launch and actively evolving. It is a complex live F2P product with a player-driven economy designed for long-term growth without regular wipes. Developing and maintaining such a system requires a deep understanding of player behavior, strong prioritization skills, and close collaboration across product, design, analytics, and live operations.

Expectations

What we want to see:

• Experience working on F2P projects (mid-core / hardcore)
• Deep expertise in early funnel optimization: activation, onboarding, early retention (D1/D3/D7)
• Proven track record of improving FTUE metrics (activation rate, tutorial completion, drop-off reduction)
• Cross-functional collaboration with Marketing, Monetization, and LiveOps teams
• Strong analytical skills: defining tasks, interpreting data, and driving product decisions
• Ability to clearly formulate requirements for research and analytical dashboards
• Solid understanding of the role of analytics and a data-driven approach in product development
• Native Russian language

Additionally, it would be great to have:

• Experience with mobile mid-core / hardcore projects
• Understanding of mobile FTUE specifics (short sessions, fast onboarding)
• Strong exposure to MMO / RolePlay (RP) games
• Experience conducting UX testing, CustDev, and focus groups
• Experience working with progression systems and early-game balance
• Background in systems game design
• Basic knowledge of SQL / Python (ability to write simple database queries)

What you will be doing:

• Develop and improve the FTUE (First-Time User Experience), including onboarding, tutorials, and first-session experience
• Implement gameplay and meta-systems focused on new player activation and retention
• Analyze early-stage user behavior and identify growth opportunities (drop-offs, friction points)
• Conduct research in collaboration with analysts (funnels, cohorts, A/B testing)
• Own FTUE-related KPIs (activation rate, D1/D3 retention, tutorial completion)
• Prioritize and manage the backlog within the onboarding/Booster stream
• Run CustDev sessions, playtests, and UX research to improve the first user experience
• Contribute to shaping the long-term vision of the Booster / onboarding direction
