Game Designer Job Description Manage the full
lifecycle of a feature: from initial ideation to playable
prototype, through to testing and final decision-making. Design,
prototype, and iterate on core gameplay systems and mechanics.
Rapidly prototype game concepts to validate "fun," technical
feasibility, and key learning hypotheses through hands-on
development. Define and maintain the incubation prototype standard,
ensuring every build features a refined "one action, one loop" core
and a clear, functional FTUE. Work closely with product,
programmers, and artist to ensure a unified vision throughout the
sprint. Job Requirements 4-8 years of professional game design
experience, with a proven track record in the casual or mass-market
sectors. Strong understanding of core loops, progression signals,
balance, and player psychology. Proven experience in rapid
prototyping and iterative development. Ability to independently
take a concept from idea to playable prototype. Proficiency with at
least one major game engine (Unity preferred), with enough
technical depth to collaborate effectively with engineers on
implementation and constraints.



Comfortable operating in a
high-velocity, ambiguous environment where project goals may shift
rapidly based on playtest data and iteration results A strong
"ownership" mindset with the ability to solve complex design
problems under tight constraints. Good communication skills Strong
exposure and hands-on use of AI and ML models for generating
creative ideas faster. Please note: This position is for one of
