Balance and Economy Designer

We are a mobile-first AAA game studio founded by the former CEO and CPO of Plarium, with a team of 140 professionals across Europe specializing in large-scale collection RPGs, building the next evolution of mobile-first CRPGs based on a globally iconic IP. We operate fully remote with offices in Tel Aviv and Krakow.

• At least four years of professional experience in game balance, economy design, systems design, or a closely related discipline.
• Hands-on experience designing or operating mobile free-to-play mid-core games.
• Experience with collection RPGs, strategy RPGs, hero collectors, or similar progression-heavy games preferred.
• Experience shipping a game or owning balance and economy systems in a live product environment.
• Strong understanding of free-to-play economies, progression systems, reward loops, live-operations design, and monetization principles.
• Advanced spreadsheet modeling skills and confidence working with probability, statistics, forecasting, and large configuration sets.
• Ability to use player data and product KPIs to form hypotheses, evaluate tradeoffs, and make practical tuning decisions.
• Clear written and verbal communication to explain complex systems to creative, technical, and business stakeholders.
• Strong demonstrated experience using LLMs in production workflows beyond basic chat-based assistance.
• Experience designing automated pipelines with structured outputs, validation rules, reusable prompts, and human-in-the-loop review.

Nice to have:

• Experience with hero collection, gacha, character progression, gear, crafting, or multi-currency RPG economies.
• Working knowledge of SQL, Python or R, BI tools, game configuration pipelines, or simulation frameworks.
• Experience supporting live games through economy monitoring, event tuning, segmentation, and A/B testing.
• Experience with AI agents, retrieval-augmented generation, evaluation frameworks, or workflow-orchestration tools.

• Own game-balance and economy design across progression, currencies, rewards, resources, upgrades, and monetization systems.
• Build economy models, forecasts, and simulations to evaluate player progression, resource pacing, inflation, and long-term system health.
• Define and tune sources and sinks, reward tables, rarity curves, upgrade costs, offer values, drop rates, and difficulty progression.
• Balance combat-related systems, including character statistics, power curves, encounters, and progression gates.
• Use telemetry, cohort analysis, and player behavior to identify friction, exploitation risks, power creep, and opportunities for improvement.
• Partner with game design, product, data, engineering, monetization, and live-operations teams to translate goals into measurable systems.
• Plan experiments, assess results, and recommend tuning changes based on quantitative evidence and player experience.
• Create and maintain clear specifications, balancing documentation, configuration standards, and repeatable tuning processes.
• Design LLM-powered and automated workflows for modeling support, content validation, configuration generation, documentation, and balance QA, with robust human review and quality controls.
