Main challenge Own the game economy and progression so that players always have something meaningful to work toward, without the game turning into a grind or a currency treadmill. Create a robust economy that can last for years, support live ops, and make room for product managers to create offers (if the model permits it). What it means on a daily basis • Be responsible for the in-game economy: currencies, resource flows, progression speed, content consumption, and related systems. • Design economy systems, including specifications, edge cases, flow mockups, and expected success KPIs. Follow up on progress with each related department. • Work with design to ensure economy systems are aligned with other systems, not just co-existing. • Build Excel models to track and predict how players progress over time. • Design test setups and player profiles to compare expected vs. actual progression. • Find issues in progression systems, such as pacing problems, broken rewards, or dead loops. • Define what data needs to be tracked to better understand player behavior. • Use data to adjust balancing and improve retention and long-term engagement. • Keep an eye on how other games solve similar problems—both inside Gameloft and outside. What success will look like • Players don’t just follow quests - they set their own short and mid-term goals • The economy gives a reason to engage with multiple systems, not just one dominant loop • Progression feels consistent and readable, without sudden walls or meaningless rewards • New content (dragons, features, expansions) plugs into the economy without breaking it • We avoid both extremes: players running out of things to do or feeling forced to grind Who you would be working with • Creative Director • Game Designers • Product Managers • Product / Monetization stakeholders • Data / Analytics • UI/UX • Production Your recruitment journey • First interview: discussion around experience and approach • Test: progression / economy case • Second interview: deep dive on your thinking and tradeoffs • Final interview: alignment on how you approach player experience vs business needs Where this role can take you • Senior / Lead Economy Designer • Ownership of progression and economy across a live product • Strong influence on product and liveops decisions What you need to succeed • Experience as Game Economy Designer / Balancer • Strong analytical thinking - able to break problems into variables and relationships • Ability to model progression in Excel • Understanding of different economy models (F2P, premium, hybrid) • Ability to interpret data and turn it into concrete changes • Experience working with tracking data Who you are • You think in player behavior and systems, not just numbers • You’re comfortable saying “this will break the game economy” even if it’s unpopular • You understand that progression design is often about tradeoffs, not perfect balance • You can work in an environment where things change and assumptions get invalidated • You don’t default to copying F2P patterns if they don’t fit the game What's in it for you Benefits • Short Friday schedule, so you can start your Weekend at 4pm! • Hybrid work (2 days /week from the office) • Medical insurance package, in partnership with Regina Maria Clinic • 2 months/year of full remote to work from anywhere you want! • Monthly budget for My Benefits platform • Extra days off for your birthday, your children`s birthday and company’s anniversary.
