$Why this role is exciting

You will work on a high-scale live mobile game, with a direct impact on the game economy, player experience, and business performance.

You will join a small, agile team where your decisions have a tangible and immediate impact at scale.

$Your mission

You play a central role in the evolution and growth of Million Lords as an Economic Game Designer. This position is at the core of the game : you design, drive, and evolve all economic systems that shape the player experience and support the game's live performance.

You are involved throughout the entire production cycle, from pre-production to live operations and will notably work on :

• Design, prototype, and iterate on the game's economy systems (currencies, sinks / sources, progression / experience, rewards) to drive long-term player engagement and monetization
  
• Define and maintain the balance between free and paid content to ensure a fair, compelling, and sustainable player experience
  
• Analyze in-game data and player behavior to evaluate the performance of the economy and business model, identify opportunities, and recommend actionable improvements
  
• Collaborate closely with Game Designers to ensure the economy is fully aligned with core gameplay loops and player motivations
  
• Work with Product, Live Ops, and Analytics teams to continuously optimize the economy through A/B testing and data-driven decisions
  
• Partner with Design, UI/UX and Engineering teams to make sure the implementation of features and economic systems properly exposes the information needed to engage the player in the experience and favors monetization
