Job Details

This is a Senior Game Designer role for our new Skilled Games Team.

You understand what makes a great skill-based game: engaging mechanics, fair competition, and a strong feedback loop. In this role, you’ll work closely with product, development, and art teams to bring these elements together, balancing creativity with data-driven decisions.

You’ll have the freedom to experiment, iterate, and shape Playnetic’s approach to competitive real-money gaming.


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. Reporting to the Head of Design, you’ll be responsible for architecting game systems, defining mechanics, and ensuring every decision is backed by data and player insight.

  • 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, particularly in monetization and casual gaming.
  • A data-driven mindset—you know how to interpret analytics and adjust designs accordingly.
  • Excellent collaboration skills—you can brainstorm with cross-functional teams and clearly communicate your vision.
  • Autonomy & leadership potential—this role is highly self-directed, and there's an opportunity to step into a leadership role as the team grows.

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!

WHAT DOES PLAYNETIC DO?

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.

As a fully remote studio, we understand the importance of staying connected and maintaining team collaboration. We are continually mindful of this as we grow and have the tools and support in place to help us all flourish.
