- Playtest and iterate on your game’s math, mechanics, game flow, and visual presentation with an eye toward creating the best player experience possible
- Produce and maintain clear design documentation for your game
- Collaborate with other game designers to provide gameplay feedback and recommendations for improvement on each other’s games
- Regularly play competitors’ games in the iGaming and land-based spaces to stay abreast of industry trends and new mechanics
WHAT WE ASK OF YOU
- 5+ years of experience designing real-money slot games for iGaming or land-based markets
- Degree in Mathematics, Game Design, or a related field, or equivalent experience
- Excellent written communication skills, especially the ability to clearly communicate complex and creative concepts to stakeholders across the globe
- Up-to-date knowledge of industry trends, emerging game mechanics, and player expectations
- Familiarity with wireframing software such as Figma or Balsamiq
- You should:
- Be able to move comfortably between strategic and detailed levels
