The role
We are looking for a Game Designer / Product Owner to drive the development of Forge Master, our idle RPG where players forge and equip gear from the Stone Age all the way up to the Quantum Age.
Forge Master is a live game with a deep meta: equipment and sets, pets, mounts, skills, tech trees, dungeons, PvP arena leagues, and guilds that compete in Guild Wars and seasonal races. You’ll own what we build next and why – from the first idea to the balancing numbers, the UX flow and the sprint that ships it.
What you will do
• Design new features and improve existing ones, from concept and specification to release and iteration
• Own the game economy: balance progression, rewards, currencies, summons and offers in our spreadsheet-driven game configs
• Design clear UX flows and wireframes, and work with our artists and developers to make every screen easy to understand
• Own the backlog and plan sprints together with the team, keeping priorities clear and scope realistic
• Plan and tune LiveOps content such as events, progress passes and seasons
• Use data, player segments and A/B tests to understand player behaviour and decide what to improve next
• Communicate decisions, tradeoffs and progress clearly, and follow through on the work you take on
What you bring
• Several years of experience as a game designer or product owner on live mobile free-to-play games
• Strong economy and balancing skills, and confidence working with spreadsheets and numbers
• Experience designing features and UX flows that players understand at a glance
• Experience planning and prioritising work in an agile team
• An analytical mindset: you form hypotheses, test them and learn from the data
• A passion for RPGs and idle games – ideally you have played Forge Master already
• Excellent written and spoken English
Nice to have
• Experience with social and competitive features like guilds, PvP and leaderboards
• Experience with Unity or setting up content in game configs yourself
• Experience with analytics tools and SQL
