Game Designer (Roblox)

Role Description

We're hiring a Game Designer who thrives in a fast-moving, scrappy environment. You'll own the design layer end-to-end — from core loop concepting to live balance tweaks — working directly with developers and artists. This is not a documentation-heavy role; you'll be expected to prototype, playtest, and iterate quickly.

Qualifications

• Proven experience designing mobile and/or PC games — shipped titles strongly preferred
• Fluency in F2P design patterns — progression systems, economy design, FTUE, retention hooks
• Ability to design and balance in-game economies (currencies, gacha, battle passes, cosmetics)
• Comfort working without a rigid spec — you can take a rough concept and shape it into a playable loop
• Strong instincts on pacing, difficulty curves, and player psychology
• Good communication skills; able to work async with a small cross-functional team
• Genuine passion for gaming with awareness of current trends across platforms
• Experience with UGC platforms (Roblox, UEFN, etc.)
  
  
  

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with analytics tools and using data to inform design decisions
• Prior experience at an indie studio
