Game Designer

Overview

You’ll take ownership of live events in Tacticus, anything from small double XP challenges to large events spanning over multi-week seasons. You’ll design, configure, and fine-tune these experiences in spreadsheets and in Unity, ensuring they’re both exciting and balanced. Alongside this, you’ll handle offers and bundles, manage localization tasks, and support the broader team with game configuration work.

Impact and Collaboration

Since Tacticus is a live game, you’ll quickly see how your work and decisions resonate with players, giving you valuable feedback and a strong learning environment. You’ll be working closely with an experienced team on a high-quality product, where collaboration and continuous improvement are part of everyday work. You’ll collaborate with designers, product managers, and developers, always keeping the player experience top of mind. Over time, you may also contribute to new feature design and documentation, expanding your impact across the game.

Requirements

• You are an experienced game designer with a background from a professional game development environment. Having worked with live game operations is preferred, though experience from mobile, free-to-play, or strategy games is also a good foundation.
• You are used to working hands-on in a game engine, and experience with Unity specifically is particularly valuable.
• You have a deep understanding of and interest in turn-based strategy and tactical games.
• You have experience with configuration, google sheets and version handling best practices.
