  • Collaborate with design team to balance in-game economy, currencies, progression systems, and reward structures.
  • Define and refine LiveOps strategy aligned with player behaviour insights and business KPIs.
  • Partner with analytics to monitor feature performance and player engagement metrics; iterate based on results.
  • Prototype and document LiveOps tools and workflows, working closely with engineering and tools teams.
