Game Designer (Mobile Card Games)

A fast-growing mobile game studio is looking for a hands-on Game Designer to help shape the next generation of engaging, social multiplayer card games. With millions of players already enjoying their titles, the team is expanding to support a new wave of content and future game launches.

This role is ideal for a designer who thrives in live environments, understands player behavior, and can balance systems for fun, retention, and monetization. You'll collaborate across product, art, engineering, and analytics teams to bring fresh features and compelling game loops to life — grounded in data, but driven by creativity.

The studio offers a flexible, remote-friendly setup (South America, Eastern Europe, UAE, Portugal, etc.), or the option to relocate to their UAE HQ.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Own the design and documentation of gameplay systems, features, and user flows.
• Create and maintain Game Design Documents (GDDs) with clear, structured specs.
• Work closely with product and data teams to design for engagement, retention, and monetization.
• Contribute to roadmap planning with scalable, player-first ideas rooted in the casual/card genre.
• Prototype and iterate on mechanics using tools like Figma, Miro, or similar.
• Collaborate with UI/UX artists and developers to bring features from concept to implementation.
• Analyze player behavior and KPIs to identify design improvement opportunities.

What They’re Looking For:

• 5+ years in mobile game design, ideally F2P and casual/social genres.
• Solid understanding of core/loop systems, player psychology, and game economies.
• Strong documentation skills and ability to write clear, actionable specs.
• Experience working on live games or in a liveops-driven environment.
• Skilled with wireframing, user flows, and design tools (e.g., Figma, Miro).
• Comfortable analyzing performance data and collaborating with product teams.
• Passion for mobile games — bonus for players/designers into card or tabletop games.

Bonus Experience (Nice to Have):

• Game economy balancing or working closely with game economists.
• Experience designing seasonal content, events, or progression systems.
• Familiarity with Unity and technical constraints in mobile game development.

What’s on Offer:

• Salary ($4.5k–6k USD/month).
• Remote-first role or relocation support to UAE HQ.
• Full visa sponsorship (if relocating).
• Flexible work hours, generous PTO, and a supportive, high-impact team.
• Creative autonomy in a studio that values ownership and innovation.
• Work on live and upcoming mobile card titles with millions of players worldwide.
