Game Designer

Job Description

We’re looking for a Game Designer with a sharp systems mind and a deep understanding of player motivation. You won’t just be designing levels or tweaking balance—you’ll architect how players feel moment-to-moment, session-to-session. If you’ve ever drawn out a feature on a napkin because spreadsheets weren’t fast enough for your ideas, you’ll fit right in.

You’ll work on a mid-scope multiplayer game (PvPvE), backed by veteran developers and iterating in fast weekly playtests. This is a hands-on role where you’ll prototype, break, rebuild, and refine—working side by side with artists, engineers, and narrative.

What You’ll Do

• Design systemic features that affect core progression loops, including economy flow, player unlocks, and meta-strategy.
• Create paper prototypes and playable greybox builds to test player decision-making and tension.
• Own the design spec and tuning of one or more mechanics: e.g., extraction risk/reward balancing, AI faction behaviors, or crafting trees.
• Collaborate with UX and narrative to ensure clarity of intent behind player choices, from onboarding to high-level mastery.
• Instrument and interpret telemetry, identifying friction points or runaway loops before they hit public playtests.
• Work closely with QA and production to triage player feedback into concrete design revisions.
• Document systems and edge cases thoroughly, but accessibly, for a multi-disciplinary audience.

What You Bring

• 3+ years designing game systems or meta-layer features in a shipped or live title (PC or console).
• Demonstrated ability to break down complex systems into approachable player-facing designs.
• A healthy obsession with risk/reward, emergent behavior, and system synergy.
• Fluency in Excel or Google Sheets, including formulas and conditional logic (experience with Lua, Blueprints, or Unity scripting a strong bonus).
• Strong communication skills: you can pitch a mechanic with clarity and purpose to both engineers and artists.
• Comfort giving and receiving actionable feedback—we playtest constantly and change things often.

Bonus Points

• Experience designing for live-service titles or seasonal content rollouts.
• Past work on games with crafting, player-driven economies, or strategic depth (e.g., extraction shooters, survival, or roguelites).
• You’ve made your own small game or prototype and can talk through what worked and what didn’t.
