Own the combat framework: define and evolve core combat rules, stats, damage formulas, scaling, and resolution systems.
Design character kits: create distinct, scalable abilities and roles that support squad-building depth and long-term expansion.
Develop systemic interactions: build and maintain elemental systems, synergies, and combat mechanics that create meaningful strategic choices.
Drive combat balance: tune and iterate using data and playtesting to maintain a healthy, evolving meta. This is a high-impact role with ownership over one of the most critical systems in the game.

We are looking for someone with 5+ years of game design experience, including ownership of combat systems on at least one shipped RPG, strategy, or character collection title. You’re a great fit if you have:
Strong combat systems knowledge: Deep understanding of combat mechanics, scaling models, stat systems, and long-term meta health, with the ability to balance depth, clarity, and business impact.
Mobile F2P experience, ideally in live ops environments.
Meta design experience: Experience contributing to or shaping a long-term combat meta.
Character design experience: Ability to design clear roles, abilities, and synergies within a broader combat ecosystem.
Strategic systems thinking: Experience designing combat systems that remain scalable and healthy for long-term live development.
Analytical and tooling proficiency: Strong skills in Google Sheets, experience working in Unity, and the ability to prototype and iterate quickly.
Clear communication: Ability to produce structured documentation and confidently present design decisions to stakeholders. Bonus points:
Experience with roguelike or squad-based combat games.
Experience balancing progression or economy systems.
