Senior / Lead Game Designer

As the new IP division within Outfit7, our mission is to expand the boundaries of casual and hybrid casual games through smart design, quick iteration, and fearless creativity.

So, we're looking for a Senior / Lead Game Designer who not only dreams big but builds fast. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone ready to work on the creative vision and design execution of multiple game prototypes—all the way from whiteboard to soft launch. Leading a small team of passionate developers and artists, you’ll be in the trenches designing moment-to-moment gameplay, core loops, and meta systems that captivate and retain players.

Eager to get your hands dirty at the frontline of game design? Get in touch now!

In this role you will

• Own and lead the end-to-end game design process for new IP prototypes—from concept to live ops.
• Collaborate with product, art, and engineering leads to implement gameplay mechanics, monetization systems, and player progression.
• Rapidly prototype, test, and iterate on core gameplay mechanics and features.
• Implement creative vision and maintain design quality across multiple projects simultaneously.
• Analyze gameplay data, player feedback, and market trends to inform design decisions.
• Champion fun, intuitive, accessible gameplay tailored to mobile platforms.
• Present clear documentation and pitches to internal stakeholders and team members.

What we’re looking for

• A hands-on, creative approach to leadership.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-moving, startup-like environment.
• Passion for mobile games—especially casual and hybrid casual genres.
• Ability to move quickly, embrace ambiguity, and iterate with a “fail fast” mindset.
• Deep understanding of game design principles, systems thinking, and behavioral economics.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills and ability to lead cross-disciplinary areas.
• Strong balance between creative intuition and analytical thinking.
• Comfortable taking ownership and pushing projects forward with minimal oversight.
• Strong understanding of player behaviors and motivations across target audiences.
• Deep understanding of game design fundamentals and game production.
• Positive, make-it-happen, lead-by-example attitude.

Your experience

• Proven track record shipping mobile titles, ideally in the midcore, casual, and/or hybrid casual space.
• Experience designing and tuning core loops, economies, and retention mechanics.
• Hands-on experience with Unity or other game engines.
• Familiarity with live ops, A/B testing, and working with game analytics.
• Bonus: Experience working on multiple prototypes or within a new IP incubation team.
• Bonus: Background in UX, product design, and/or economy design.
