Who you'll be working with

At Volka, you’ll work both independently and collaboratively when needed, in a respectful and supportive environment that values your ideas and well-being. To succeed, you’ll need to stay organized, keep learning, and consistently bring your best to help achieve shared goals with the team.

Gaming has always been a big part of our lives. With our love for different genres, we never lose sight of what makes a game truly fun. We bring that passion into everything we create – making joyful, exciting experiences for players everywhere.

Where you'll be working at

Located in a historic three-story building in the heart of the city, our office offers a fresh, welcoming atmosphere – the perfect environment to feel inspired while staying focused and productive.

How you'll get there

One thing our team members agree on is that relocation was a breeze. Volka handles all the paperwork to bring you to Cyprus and all the legwork to settle you here. We help with opening the bank account, obtaining permits for you and your family and take over other bureaucratic matters that are an annoying necessity of moving to a new country. For you it will be like booking a vacation with a tourist agency. Except, you know, you'll have to work here.

How we'll help you settle

Moving to a new country may seem a little daunting, and we know that because most of us have been through it. There will be challenges for you to face, including finding a place to live, adjusting to the local way of life and finding new friends. But fear not, for Volka will support you along the way!

• We'll arrange for temporary accommodations and provide a transfer to the office until you can find a place of your own

• We offer benefits for housing rent, car purchase and childcare

• We have allowances for lunches, psychotherapy sessions, language learning, and sports activities

• We provide medical insurance for you and your family

Most importantly, in Volka you will find a warm and welcoming community of open, friendly people with a wide variety of interests, passion for games and a positive outlook on life.

If we sound like a good fit for you, then you may be a good fit for us.
