We are BossAlien, part of the NaturalMotion family. Our mission is to bring AAA console visuals and deep compelling gameplay to mobile platforms.In 2018 & 2019, NaturalMotion Studios were named one of the Best Places to Work in the UK games industry by gamesindustry.biz.

Job Purpose

As a Game Designer (Meta), you will work hand in hand with the rest of game design, product management, and creative leadership to define the core loops and strategies that regulate the economy, metagame, and progression for our new premiere Star Wars mobile shooter.

You approach the design of economies and metagame loops with a design-minded eye that looks for fun and sustainability in equal measure. You know that live data and metrics are a crucial tool in balancing a game economy, but that they work in harmony with your instincts as an experienced game maker.

You have experience in designing and balancing complex progression systems. You understand the motivations that keep players coming back to a great game day after day, week after week, and month after month. You know instinctively that our free players are just as important as our paid players, and build systems that respect their time and deliver fun, compelling gameplay regardless of their investment level.

You are a vocal advocate for the power of free-to-play gaming, and understand deeply and intuitively how free-to-play economies work. You are someone who wants to push the boundaries of what free-to-play can be, and look for next-generation methods for designing innovative, fair, and ethical metagames and economies. You can communicate that passion to the rest of the team and pass your knowledge and enthusiasm for it along to others as an effective mentor and guide.

Finally, you have a love and admiration for the Star Wars universe, and embrace the opportunity to make your mark and tell your story within one of the most beloved and storied franchises of all time.

This role reports directly to the project’s Creative Director.
