About this role
Role Overview
Own the Game Vision – Define the design pillars that make our casino games distinct, addictive, and replayable. You know what creates a great session — now build it.
Design Core Systems & Mechanics – Lead the creation of gambling loops, volatility models, bonus structures, and reward systems that keep players engaged and coming back.
Collaborate Across Disciplines – Partner with math designers, engineers, artists, and product leads to bring games from concept to polished, market-ready release.
Prototype & Iterate – Rapidly test game feel, payout structures, and bonus features to find what hits — then refine until it's right.
Stay Sharp on the Market – Know what's dominating casino floors and online platforms. Understand what players are gravitating toward and why, and use that knowledge to stay ahead.
Mentor & Elevate – Help level up other designers and contribute to a culture where great gambling game instincts are developed and rewarded.
Requirements
7+ years in game design, with direct experience designing casino, gambling, or high-engagement games — slots, table games, poker, or similar.
A real passion for gambling and casino culture. You play these games. You understand them from the inside out.
Deep knowledge of volatility, RTP, bonus mechanics, and what makes a game feel rewarding vs. flat.
Strong instincts for the moment-to-moment player experience — the near miss, the anticipation, the big win reveal.
Experience working cross-functionally and mentoring other designers.
Analytical chops to back up your creative instincts with data.
Benefits
Creative Ownership – Shape the design direction of entirely new gambling experiences from the ground up.
Play to Your Passion – This is a role for someone who genuinely loves this space, not someone learning to like it.
Impactful Work – Your designs will directly drive the success of our next major titles in the U.S. market.
Passionate Team – Work with people building in an area they care deeply about, moving fast and thinking big.
