Role Overview 

We're looking for a Game Designer specialising in balance and economy to strengthen one of the core areas of a mature, live-ops-driven F2P project. The key goal is to rebuild the in-game economy and bring system-level rigour to how we balance live-ops — moving from point-by-point tuning of individual events toward a coherent, interconnected approach.

This is a hands-on, analytical role: you will dive into the data yourself to understand how the game behaves today, build the models and frameworks needed for balancing, and work in close partnership with the producer, game designers and analysts to take your decisions through to production.

Key Responsibilities 

• Diagnose the current state of the game economy through independent, hands-on data analysis
• Systematically configure and maintain the in-game economy, including the monetisation layer
• Design and tune live-ops balance — not only within individual events, but across the whole layer, accounting for how events interact with and influence one another
• Establish a systematic workflow for live-ops balancing and an overall approach to rewards within events
• Help shape the event calendar toward stronger synergy between events
• Build and maintain balance models, documentation, charts and diagrams
• Analyse balance and monetisation, and propose data-backed changes and improvements
• Work with producer, game designers, level designers and analysts to validate and ship balance changes

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

• Senior or Lead-level experience in game design, game balance, or economy design on live F2P games
• Strong understanding of F2P economies, including currencies, rewards, monetisation, offers, pricing, and player segmentation
• Hands-on experience balancing progression, live-ops content and reward systems
• Strong analytical skills and the ability to work independently with data using SQL and BI tools
• Advanced Excel or spreadsheet modelling skills. Experience building economy simulations is a plus
• Good understanding of statistics and A/B testing
• Strong mathematical and systems-thinking skills
• Ability to create clear, repeatable balancing frameworks and documentation
• Experience with match-3, casual, puzzle, or other live-ops-heavy games is a plus
• English and  Russian spoken and written at B2 level and above
