Junior Mobile Game Designer

Job Description

What will you do here?

• This is a position requiring passion for mobile game design and the free-to-play business model.

• As a game designer your responsibility is to understand how a 'game as a service' works from a user standpoint, how do they behave in it, so you can provide constant recommendation on improving the service.

• To do so, you’ll be able to design the main features a game will offer, define metrics to individually measure their impact, and work closely with the development team.

• Once the game is launched, you’ll be able to analyze the collected data and report the performing / underperforming aspects of the game, find the reasons, and then provide suggestions for further improvements / solutions to problems.

What will happen to you on the first day and in the first 3 months?

• On your first day, we will introduce you to everyone on the team. The game’s producer will tell you more details you about the game you will be working on, while the designers will tell you what the designer team is currently working on

• Also on the first day you will receive your onboarding plan, which gives you details about the things you will be doing and what’s expected of you over the next 3 months

• Right from the start you will also find out who will be your assigned buddy, the colleague who will help you during your first few months to have a great time here. You can ask him anything at any time, be it things about the project or about what’s the best place to eat at in the area (there are many cool places to eat at nearby)

• During your trial period, we will continue to support you and give you feedback on your work. And of course, we’d love it if you also shared your opinion and suggestions with us

• In this current global situation we will start the trial period remotely and you can relocate to Hungary later

Qualifications

What are the qualifications I need for this position?

• At least 2 years of experience as a Game Designer (on the mobile game market)
• Up-to-date knowledge of the free-to-play mobile market
• Ability to maintain and work within an existing game design architecture, design features and improvements while maintaining product vision
• Strong sensitivity to gameplay and game design, understanding how to build needs and emotions in the context of a game
• Strong analytical and formal thinking, able to break down problems
• Good presentation skills to convey your ideas
• Fluent written and spoken English, concise writing skills
• Good knowledge on the use of Excel

Pluses:

• Prior experience in free-to-play puzzle or tycoon games

Additional Information

What will happen when you apply?

You can apply with your English CV.

No cover letter is required. But if you usually play mobile, you can write down what :-)

At Gameloft, we believe in diversity, so no applicant will be discriminated against based on criteria such as gender, age, gender identity, religion, nationality, etc ...

Your CV will be reviewed by our Studio Manager and our Lead Game Designers and if they find it relevant, one of our colleagues from HR will contact you.

Next there will be a home test, followed by a chat with one of our HR colleagues and later with our Studio Manager and one of our Lead Game Designers. They will give you specific details about the job and you can ask them anything you are interested in knowing about working here. As you will be in our studio, you will have a chance to look into the Gameloft environment and atmosphere as well.

The whole process usually takes 2-3 weeks, but in the current global situation it could be slightly longer.

If the test fails, we will notify you within 2-3 days. You will certainly receive feedback from us about the process, but you can also track the status of your application through our application system.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Kristóf Szabó
