Responsibilities:

  • Design and refine complex meta systems — player progression, in-game economy, reward loops, and event structures — aligned with the game’s F2P model;

  • Build robust connections between core gameplay (football matches) and meta layers such as player development, team-building, collections, league progression, and seasonal content;

  • Define and evolve a scalable game economy, including multiple currencies, soft/hard balances, sinks/sources, and monetization paths;

  • Partner with Product and Analytics to define success metrics, assess system performance, and implement data-driven iterations;

  • Collaborate closely with UI/UX, Development, Art, and Marketing to ensure cohesive system delivery and excellent player experience;

  • Provide mentorship to mid- and junior designers; review, challenge, and elevate meta/game design across the project;

  • Stay ahead of market trends in F2P, sports, and GaaS to inspire innovation and maintain competitive advantage.

Skills and requirements:

  • 5+ years of experience in game design, with 2+ years focused specifically on meta systems and F2P economies in live games;

  • Demonstrated success in designing and operating scalable F2P features (e.g. battle pass, gacha mechanics, time-limited events, upgrade loops);

  • Strong ability to build and document systems from the ground up, and drive their implementation through cross-discipline alignment;

  • Expert in balancing tools (Excel/Sheets), economy modeling, and system mapping;

  • Deep understanding of player psychology, behavioral design, and player segmentation;

  • Excellent communication and leadership skills, with experience mentoring or reviewing the work of other designers;

  • Passion for football and/or sports gaming is a strong advantage.


Will be a plus:

  • Strategic thinker with a strong business/product mindset.
