• Employment Type: Full-time
• Work Model: Hybrid

About the Position

We are seeking a Game Economy & Progression Designer to join our team. Your main challenge will be to own the game economy and progression, ensuring players always have meaningful goals without the game turning into a grind. You will create a robust economy that can last for years, support live operations, and allow product managers to create offers if the model permits.

Responsibilities

• Be responsible for the in-game economy: currencies, resource flows, progression speed, content consumption, and related systems.
• Design economy systems, including specifications, edge cases, flow mockups, and expected success KPIs. Follow up on progress with each related department.
• Work with design to ensure economy systems are aligned with other systems, not just co-existing.
• Build Excel models to track and predict how players progress over time.
• Design test setups and player profiles to compare expected vs. actual progression.
• Find issues in progression systems, such as pacing problems, broken rewards, or dead loops.
• Define what data needs to be tracked to better understand player behavior.
• Use data to adjust balancing and improve retention and long-term engagement.
• Keep an eye on how other games solve similar problems-both inside Gameloft and outside.

Requirements

• Experience as Game Economy Designer / Balancer
• Strong analytical thinking - able to break problems into variables and relationships
• Ability to model progression in Excel
• Understanding of different economy models (F2P, premium, hybrid)
• Ability to interpret data and turn it into concrete changes
• Experience working with tracking data
