Games Designer

Mid-level to Senior Game Designer
Location: Berlin, Germany

We’re looking for a Game Designer to own the full game design process for a F2P mobile game, from initial concept through to launch and live operations. This is a hands-on role where you’ll prototype mechanics, build levels and content, balance progression systems, and create engaging player experiences.

You’ll work closely with engineering, art, and product in a small, fast-moving team, using player data and playtesting to inform design decisions. A key focus will be improving pacing, difficulty, onboarding, retention, and long-term player engagement through continuous testing and iteration.

What we’re looking for:

• 3+ years of experience designing F2P mobile games
• Experience shipping at least one commercially successful mobile game from concept to launch
• Strong understanding of casual, hybrid casual, or mid-core game design
• Hands-on experience building game content and balancing systems using tools such as Excel
• Strong understanding of player psychology, UX, progression systems, and F2P economies
• Ability to make data-driven design decisions
• Self-starter comfortable taking ownership in a small team
• Strong communication and cross-discipline collaboration skills
• Experience using AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Cursor
• Passion for mobile and F2P games
• Willingness to work full-time from the Berlin office

Nice to have:

• Experience running LiveOps and improving games post-launch
• Ability to independently analyse game data
• Experience working in startups or small teams
• Ability to create wireframes or early UI mockups
