WHAT YOU’LL DO

As our Senior Game Designer, you’ll turn our vision into reality, designing game features and mechanics that engage and excite players.

  • Design & Define: Create clear, detailed documentation, wireframes, and game system designs.
  • Balance Creativity & Data: Use analytics to inform decisions—your solutions should be backed by numbers, not just gut feelings.
  • Own the Player Experience: Put the player first in all design choices, ensuring fun, intuitive, and competitive gameplay.
  • Collaborate & Innovate: Work with cross-functional teams, including artists, engineers, and product managers, to refine and improve game concepts.
  • Stay Ahead of the Game: Keep a pulse on industry trends, competitor games, and emerging opportunities in skill-based gaming.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

  • Proven experience as a Senior Game Designer (F2P or skill-based games preferred).
  • Hands-on concept creation experience—you’ve built game concepts from scratch and taken them to pre-production.
  • Strong market knowledge - Experience with monetisation models and staying ahead of industry trends.
  • A data-driven mindset— Ability to interpret player data and analytics to make informed design choices.
  • Collaborative and self-sufficient — Thrive in a remote, highly autonomous environment, working seamlessly with cross-functional teams.
  • Excellent communication skills – Very strong written and verbal English skills to articulate design decisions clearly.

WHY JOIN PLAYNETIC?

  • A startup within an established company—move fast, innovate, and make an impact.
  • Fully remote & flexible—work when and where you work best.
  • Flat hierarchy & high autonomy—own your work without bureaucracy.
  • Growth opportunities—we’re scaling, and this role could evolve into a leadership position.

INTERVIEW PROCESS

  1. Recruiter intro call – A conversation to get to know you and discuss the role.
  2. Design Task – Showcase your game design skills with a practical exercise.
  3. Technical Interview – Meet with our Game Designers to discuss your approach to game design.
  4. Cultural Interview – A final chat with the Head of Product.

HOW WE WORK & OUR BENEFITS

  • Flexible working hours – Flexible working at Playnetic is actually flexible! No core working hours; work how you work best. We operate a common sense and goal-driven approach that helps you and us track success.
  • Unlimited holidays – We respect the importance of work-life balance, which is why we believe in unlimited holidays. The only thing we ask is you take at least 25 days!

Established in 2023, Playnetic is a new player in the world of gaming entertainment.

Our innovative gaming content is centred around our core values: quality gaming, dedicated customer service, and reliable delivery to our partners. We're currently in a phase of growth and will scale considerably over the next 12 months.
