About the role:

  • Work closely with fellow Game Designers and Product Managers to form the vision for impactful new features.
  • Conceive and execute on exciting new features, and write and review specs that communicate your vision for those new features to other team disciplines, such as  Engineers, Writers, Artists, Economy Designers, QA, and more.
  • Learn and internalize our players' needs, and use that knowledge to create features that monetize while delighting and entertaining.
  • Analyze feedback and KPIs to improve feature engagement, monetization, and retention.
  • Ensure that features are scalable and adaptable to live service.
