Senior Feature Designer

Job Description

At Toca Boca, we believe in the power of play. Our games give kids the tools to express themselves, explore their imagination, and create their own worlds. We’re now looking for a Senior Feature Designer to help shape the future of Toca Boca World, designing new features and play loops that empower kids to tell stories in safe, open, and creative ways.

What you’ll be doing

As Senior Feature Designer, you’ll design core mechanics and features that support both existing and future content packs, always guided by the Kids First perspective and design principles of Toca Boca World. You’ll work closely with creative leadership and stakeholders to define opportunities, balance technical limitations, and expand Toca Boca World to meet the demands of an increasingly competitive and fast-moving market.

Your role will include creating prototypes that allow for quick testing and iteration, providing risk assessments for upcoming releases, and maintaining clear design documentation. You’ll communicate complex design ideas in an accessible way across disciplines and act as a reliable point of reference for your team, ensuring the vision is carried through in development.

Staying on top of industry trends and kids’ communities will be key, helping you ensure that Toca Boca World remains relevant and inspiring for its audience. You’ll collaborate with the User Research team to design test cases and run live testing sessions with kids, translating their feedback into actionable improvements. At the same time, with the help of your lead you’ll serve as a bridge between the team and the Design Director, helping future-proof Toca Boca World while designing thoughtful and practical solutions to complex challenges.

Skills & Requirements

Is this you?

You are a senior designer, having worked in cross-functional teams focused on mobile and free-to-play titles. You have worked on live-operated mobile projects, and if you contributed to a couple of shipped titles or long-term live-ops projects - that’s great.

You’re confident in designing technical features and core mechanics within frameworks that include multiple intertwining systems. An iterative mindset is key—you value prototyping, testing, gathering feedback, and refining your designs until they deliver the best possible player experience. You’re curious and have an understanding of open-ended play, with the ability to step away from linear or traditionally competitive gameplay to create playful, imaginative experiences. Experience with social gameplay features is a big plus.

You have strong communication skills with the ability to convey complex concepts in a way that makes sense to different disciplines. Above all, you’re passionate about designing safe, creative, and joyful play experiences for kids.

A portfolio showcasing relevant work on handheld or mobile devices is required.

This is us!

Play is in our DNA. At Toca Boca, we make playful, safe spaces where kids can have fun and feel free to be themselves. Over 60 million kids from all over the world play our games every month. Are you in? Let’s play.

Good to know!

This position is full time and based in our Stockholm studio with a hybrid working model (part office, part working from home). We apply a 6-month probationary period. You’ll need to be located in Sweden as we are unable to support relocation. As we’re an international company, with over 20 nationalities working here, and millions of users all over the world, you need to be fluent in English. Your application should therefore be in English.
