Senior Game Designer – Mobile Games
We’re looking for a Senior Game Designer to join a growing studio on an exciting lineup of mobile titles. This full-time, on-site role is based in Auckland and ideal for someone who enjoys taking a hands-on role in the entire game development cycle — from early concept to global release.
As a Senior Designer, you’ll help shape the core gameplay experience by creating systems, mechanics, and levels that are engaging and monetization-aware. You'll work closely with the wider team of artists and engineers, and contribute directly to the vision of current and future projects.

What you’ll be doing:

• Develop game design documentation, level scripting, and feature prototypes
• Build and balance gameplay systems that enhance retention and monetization
• Review implementation to ensure alignment with design goals
• Maintain and update design documentation across the project lifecycle
• Stay informed on market trends and contribute new ideas
• Support and mentor other designers on the team

What we’re looking for:

• 5+ years of experience in game design, ideally in F2P mobile titles
• Experience on at least 2 shipped games
• Strong understanding of monetization mechanics in mobile gaming
• Hands-on experience with level design and game development tools
• Ability to lead and mentor others while collaborating across disciplines

Relocation and visa support are available for candidates based outside of New Zealand.
