We’re excited to welcome a Technical Game Designer to our small but passionate team! You’ll work side-by-side with programmers, designers, and artists to build systems, tackle problems, and shape mechanics that are fun for players. We’re a lean studio, so your ideas and contributions will have a real impact right from day one.

• Strong grasp of UGC workflows and how to design systems that empower creators
• Experience designing and balancing creatures or other gameplay content
• Confident with spreadsheets (Excel, Google Sheets) and using formulas for balancing/tuning

What You’ll Do

• Design and implement gameplay systems from the first idea to production-ready
• Write and maintain structured data (like JSON) and light scripts to support features
• Prototype and test mechanics to make sure they’re fun and technically feasible
• Work closely with programmers and designers to balance scope, cost, and player impact
• Write, update, and maintain clear Game Design Documents (GDDs) the whole team can use
• Document systems in a way that makes sense across design, art, and engineering
• Spot and fix edge cases so systems stay stable even under weird player behavior
• Help improve workflows and pipelines in a small, lean, collaborative team
