Our Story
At Wooga, we are very proud of the diverse, creative and friendly environment we have established and we believe you will enjoy working with some of the best people in the industry. Each of our Woogas plays an important role in our success as a company and in shaping our culture. We really value our razor-sharp focus on story-driven casual games, excellent craftsmanship, and the truly collaborative way of working. We create joyful experiences that awaken our players’ desire to see what happens next. Based in the heart of Berlin, with over 280 employees from around the world, we work together to create high-quality casual games with engaging stories at the core of the experience.
We are currently looking for Feature Designers to work on either June’s Journey or one of the exciting games we have in development. Do you want to work in a stable, friendly, environment that strives for and recognizes excellence, and where values like diversity, integrity, and innovation are more than just words on a page? If so then we would love to hear from you!
About the role

- Use your knowledge of our players to come up with features that delight and entertain them
- Make sure new features integrate effectively with the game systems, economy, events, narrative, and monetization

- Remain current on the hidden object market and competitive titles
About you
- You have at least 2+ years of F2P game design experience
- Your profile includes at least one multi-platform mobile F2P game, ideally in the casual space. Live ops experience is a plus, but not a requirement!
- You consistently strive to grow your design skills, improve yourself professionally, and increase team creativity and productivity
- You make data-driven decisions and understand F2P KPIs like short and long term retention, engagement, ARPDAU and more

- You can present your ideas in a clear and comprehensive way using spreadsheets, slideshows, and visual prototyping tools
- You play mobile games and stay current on emerging game trends, new mechanics, and innovative monetization techniques
- You are an excellent team player, who fits into our multinational and very friendly team of highly-motivated professionals
Please note: Research has shown that some under-represented groups in the gaming industry (eg: women) tend to apply only if they meet every single requirement. Here at Wooga, the desire to learn and the willingness to solve problems are more important to us than your experience on paper. We encourage you to apply even if you do not think that you tick all the boxes - thinking outside of such boxes and embracing the diversity of mindsets and backgrounds is what we believe makes our teams thrive.
Our Promise
- Shape the future! Challenge the status quo and team up with a diverse group of experts (over 50 nationalities!) working on crafting the world’s best games.
