Description

Design and own player progression systems, including XP curves, unlock pacing, milestone rewards, progression loops, and long-term engagement structures.
Build, tune, and maintain in-game economies, including currencies, sinks and sources, item valuation, reward distribution, and exchange systems.
Design monetization systems and content structures such as seasonal content, stores, passes, and other live-service offerings where applicable.
Support the planning and tuning of recurring content, live events, and gameplay incentives tied to seasonal or rotating content strategies.
Partner with design, product, production, and live operations teams to model the impact of new features, content, and reward changes before release.
Create and maintain economy models, balance sheets, simulation tools, and tuning documentation to support implementation and decision-making.
Analyze live data, player behavior, and feedback to identify economy drift, progression friction, reward imbalance, or missed monetization opportunities.
Propose and implement tuning changes that improve clarity, retention, engagement, and overall system health.
Help investigate and resolve player-facing issues related to rewards, progression, economy balance, exploits, and other live-service concerns.

Requirements

4+ years of game design experience focused on systems, economy, progression, or live game design.
At least one shipped title where you were a primary owner of progression, economy, or monetization systems.
Strong analytical skills and comfort working with spreadsheets, models, and live data to support design decisions.
Deep understanding of player progression, reward systems, virtual economies, retention loops, and monetization frameworks across live games.
Experience designing for long-term player engagement without relying on predatory or opaque mechanics.
Ability to translate product goals and business KPIs into practical, player-centered design decisions.
Clear documentation skills, with the ability to create balance sheets, specs, and tuning guides for cross-functional teams.
Proficiency in Unreal Engine 5, with the ability to work directly in-engine to support system implementation and tuning.
Strong working knowledge of Blueprints for gameplay logic, tuning hooks, and feature support.
Ability to work with light scripting in C++, particularly in support of systems implementation and collaboration with engineering teams.
Experience working on live service or free-to-play titles, preferred.
Familiarity with seasonal content models, reward calendars, or recurring event structures, preferred.

Benefits

Full-time contractor position.
Attractive remuneration package.
Opportunity for knowledge sharing, learning, and professional self-development.
Direct collaboration with the Finance Director.
Interesting and challenging work on a growing organization.
