Platform Meta Game Designer

Team: Platform Product – Meta & Retention
Location: Remote / Flexible
Experience: 5+ years (10+ preferred) in systems/meta/game economy design

Help Shape the Future of Cross-Game Engagement
We’re building the foundation of a modular, cross-title meta layer designed to drive long-term player engagement and monetisation across a diverse portfolio of games. As a Platform Meta Game Designer, you’ll lead the design of systems that connect and elevate the player experience across multiple titles.
This is a high-impact role with visibility across product and design leadership, offering the opportunity to define the future of platform-wide engagement at scale.
 
What You’ll Be Doing
  • Design platform-wide systems such as daily challenges, cross-game missions, reward ladders, collectibles, and mini-games (e.g. spinners, chests, pick-a-box).
  • Strategise for retention by building short-term hooks and long-term progression mechanics that drive D7, D30, D60, and D90 engagement.
  • Balance platform economies by tuning production and sink loops to ensure fairness, sustainability, and player satisfaction.
  • Collaborate across teams to integrate meta systems into core gameplay across genres including cards, casual, and puzzle games.
  • Analyse and iterate using behavioural data, A/B testing, and KPIs in partnership with product and data teams.
  • Prototype and document using tools like Figma, Machinations, and flowcharts to bring your ideas to life.
  • Support live operations with seasonal meta games, special events, and dynamic content tailored to player behaviour.
What We’re Looking For
  • 5+ years (10+ preferred) in game systems, meta, or economy design—ideally in live ops or multi-title platforms.
  • Experience designing for long-term player lifecycle (D7–D90 retention).
  • Deep understanding of player motivation, progression mechanics, and economy balance.
  • Strong analytical skills—comfortable with Excel, SQL/Python, dashboards, and behavioural data.
  • Excellent communicator across PMs, data teams, game leads, and engineers.
  • Bonus: Experience designing platform-level mini-games or meta features.
What Success Looks Like
  • Uplift in D7, D30, D60, and D90 retention
  • Balanced, abuse-resistant platform economy
  • High adoption of meta features across games
  • Seamless rollout of systems with minimal engineering overhead
Why Join

This role aligns with senior positions at leading studios where platform meta systems drive cross-game engagement and monetisation. You’ll be part of a collaborative, player-first team that values creativity, experimentation, and continuous learning.
