Senior Game Designer

About UserWise

- We're building a high-speed, AI-assisted game production team focused on developing and scaling mobile games globally. - This is not a traditional game team. We operate with ownership, clarity, and execution speed, leveraging AI-driven workflows to move faster than most studios. - We work across a global team, building production-ready games and scaling them through LiveOps. Our focus is simple: increase the number of high-quality bets and turn them into scalable products. - Our team has already worked across established franchises such as Fruit Ninja and Wordscapes, contributing to both development and growth initiatives.

About the Role

- We're looking for a senior game designer with strong product management understanding to help us identify, build, validate, and scale new game products. - This is a product builder role. You'll work closely with our Chief AI Officer, combining strong game design, product thinking, data, and AI-assisted workflows to turn opportunities into playable products quickly. - You'll own the what and why behind the product, while staying close enough to the work to turn ideas into prototypes, tests, and production-ready games. - High ownership: You own product decisions and outcomes. - High speed: We build, test, ship, and iterate quickly. - AI-assisted workflows: AI is embedded into how we design and build. - Data-driven: Product decisions are informed by player behavior and measurable outcomes. - Global team: Work across multiple regions and disciplines. - Low bureaucracy: Minimal process, maximum execution.

What You'll Be Doing

- Identify and evaluate new game opportunities through market analysis, competitor deconstruction, player insights, and product data. - Turn opportunities into clear product bets, defining the concept, target audience, core loop, product hypothesis, success metrics, and commercial opportunity. - Own AI-assisted game design across core loops, systems, progression, economy, UX, retention, and monetization. - Rapidly prototype and validate game concepts using AI-assisted tools and lightweight development workflows. - Define success metrics, analyze player behavior and test results, and make clear recommendations on whether to scale, iterate, or kill. - Own product priorities and make trade-offs based on player impact, data, development effort, and business potential. - Continuously improve games based on retention, engagement, monetization, experimentation, and player behavior. - Partner closely with leadership to evolve how AI is used to design, prototype, build, and scale games faster.

What You’ll Bring

- 6+ years of experience in mobile games, ideally across casual or hybrid-casual products. - Strong game design experience combined with product management or meaningful product ownership. - Experience taking games or significant products from concept through launch and post-launch iteration. - A track record of owning product outcomes and KPIs, not just individual features. - Strong understanding of gameplay systems, progression, economy, UX, retention, monetization, and LiveOps. - Strong understanding of F2P game economics and metrics, including retention, engagement, monetization, LTV, CPI, and related product performance indicators. - Comfort working with analytics and experimentation, including interpreting data, forming hypotheses, designing tests, and acting on results. - Ability to deconstruct successful games, understand why they work, and turn those learnings into product decisions. - Experience using AI-assisted tools for ideation, prototyping, analysis, design, or content creation. - Ability to turn ambiguous opportunities into clear product direction and executable priorities. - High ownership and independent decision-making. You move quickly and don't wait for perfect information. - Strong execution mindset. You build, ship, learn, and improve rather than getting stuck in process.
