Use player behavior, KPIs, and live data to improve retention, engagement, and monetization.

Support roadmap planning, feature prioritization, and production-ready design delivery.

5+ years of professional game design experience.

Strong experience with mobile F2P game systems, economy, progression, and live-ops.

Previous experience in strategy, PvP, RPG, hero-based, base-building, or midcore mobile games is highly preferred.

Ability to design systems from concept to implementation.

Strong documentation skills using tools such as Google Sheets, Figma, Miro, Notion, Jira, Confluence, or similar.

Good understanding of retention, monetization, FTUE, battle passes, events, offers, and reward balancing.

Experience leading or mentoring other designers.

Strong communication skills and ability to work with cross-functional teams.

Nice to Have:

Experience with games similar to Clash of Clans, Clash Royale, Top Heroes, Rise of Kingdoms, Whiteout Survival, Kingshot, or similar mobile strategy titles.
