OSM is a mature live game with a large, opinionated community, which means the design work is less about starting from a blank page and more about making meaningful changes to systems that people already care deeply about.\nAs a Game Designer on OSM you'll own features and economy work end to end, from the first concept through spec, implementation, release and the balancing that follows. You'll work day to day with product managers, producers, UX designers, developers and analysts in a small cross-functional team.\nWe're looking for someone with a few games behind them who can carry a feature without much hand-holding.\nWhat will you be doing at Miniclip?\nDesign features and content for OSM, from concept to detailed specification, that improve engagement, retention and monetisation.\nDesign and tune the in-game economy, including pricing, progression, rewards and sinks, and monitor how it behaves once live.\nPrototype and playtest ideas early, and use what you learn to kill or reshape them.\nBalance and iterate on live features after release, using analytics and player feedback to decide what changes and what stays.\nPresent your designs and the reasoning behind them to the team and to stakeholders, and defend the parts worth defending.\nKeep an eye on competitors and the wider sports and management genre, and bring back what's inspiring.\nWork with developers to improve the internal tools and config systems designers rely on.\nWhat are we looking for?\n3+ years designing gameplay and economy for live mobile free-to-play games.\nExperience across the full cycle, from prototype to production to running a game post-launch.\nComfortable working with analytics, and able to turn data into a design decision rather than a dashboard summary.\nStrong grasp of mobile UX, and genuine curiosity about players whose taste differs from your own.\nTakes critique well and iterates instead of defending. Writes clear, well-argued design docs.\nExperience with live ops planning and content calendars.\nSelf-directed and organised. You can own a feature without being chased.\nFluent English, written and spoken.\nExperience on sports, management or simulation titles.\nWe offer\nAn informal studio with a flat structure, where designers are expected to have opinions and to say them out loud. We move quickly, ship regularly, and we don't confuse long hours with good work. You'll get real ownership over what you build, and time set aside for your own development.\nAbout Miniclip\nMiniclip is a global leader in games and one of the world's biggest developers and publishers of mobile games, with a mission of unleashing the gamer in everyone.
