Role Summary
We’re hiring a Senior Game Designer to own systems, economy, and UX-driven feature design for a hybrid-casual mobile game. You will improve late retention (D7–D30) and feature adoption on a live product while contributing to a new prototype. You’ll work closely with engineering, UI/UX, art, QA, data, and UA, using data and market benchmarks to guide iteration.
What you’ll do
· Design and ship features end-to-end for live and prototype projects (spec → implementation support → tuning → iteration).
· Build and tune meta-progression, economy, and balancing (rewards, costs, sinks/sources, pacing).
· Create clear UX flows and collaborate with UI/UX to keep goals and progression easy to understand.
· Use analytics (Firebase/AppsFlyer) to diagnose issues and drive improvements in retention and adoption.
· Benchmark competitor games and translate insights into practical, shippable features/prototypes.
Requirements
· 3–5 years mobile F2P game design experience.
· Shipped at least one F2P mobile game; strong ownership in systems/economy/feature design.
· Strong economy/balancing and player psychology understanding.
· Data mindset: can read product metrics and convert into design actions.
· Clear communication and collaboration in a fast, lean environment.
· Vietnamese fluent; English reading well.
· Portfolio (required)
o Shipped games list + your role
o Example(s) of economy/balancing work (sanitized)
o Feature spec/flow examples
o Post-launch iteration case (before/after outcomes preferred)
Nice to have
· Hybrid monetization experience (Ads + IAP) and subscription design/testing experience.
· Live ops experience (light weekly events).
· Self-developed shipped game(s).
