Economy Designer - Creative Play
Our Creative Play team is looking for an Economy Designer to explore some new challenges as we build out our platform -- looking to balance progression, player engagement, and a healthy economy to promote a positive, sharing focused social space.
We are building a social real-time world for creation - and working on flexible and fun ways for users to express themselves. We need you to come help take early concepts in this area and turn them into a strong framework - driving the design, collaborating with all parts of the team, and helping make the vision concrete.
This might involve prototyping, collaborative development, presentations, and of course some modelling and analysis. Like all projects, we are built off of many ideas from many places - but our model doesn’t map 1:1 to an existing approach. So this role will require understanding of much that is out there, but more importantly a willingness to envision, analyse, and create new solutions.
Example of Responsibilities:
- Explore and define the foundations and framework of our economy design
- Provide insight, design, methodology, knowledge and ideas to create player-friendly monetization, retention mechanics, systems and experiences that gives meaningful engagement for our players for a long time
- User stories and Prototypes to make engagement ideas concrete
- Exploring other relevant products and distilling learnings and ideas for us to consider
We would love it if you have:
- A creative and explorative mindset where you have worked on early stage concepts or experiments
- A proven track record working with community driven game economy
- Experience in F2P, and ideally UGC projects as well
- Proficient with math, statistics, excel, spreadsheets
- Experience in game design and/or theory
- Been part of a fast scaling, cross functional product culture
- Part of evolving and adaptive monetization - esp. if for a non-traditional title
At Embark we offer competitive salaries, passionate colleagues to share knowledge with and much more, but most of all we invite you to take part of a journey into the unknown, to build creative, surprising and beautiful experiences together.
We welcome game makers of all sex, class, colour, age, gender identity, education, religion, opinion, culture, nation of origin, language, sexual orientation, shape, size, and ability.
Did we leave anyone out? Well, we welcome you, too! We think that the gaming industry is made better when everyone has a seat at the table.
Be yourself at Embark and make games while doing so. Please apply with confidence. We can’t wait to hear from you (in English)!
