Lead Game Economy Designer

At Bullet Echo, we’re looking for a Lead Game Design Generalist with strong expertise in Economy Design to help shape progression, monetization, and long-term player engagement.

What You'll Do

• Own meta-game systems: progression, hero advancement, seasonal loops, long-term engagement mechanics

• Design and balance the in-game economy: currencies, sinks and sources, offer structure, reward systems

• Conduct an audit of the existing meta and economy as your first priority - understand what's there before changing it

• Collaborate with LiveOps on event design and reward structures

• Work with Analytics to define success metrics and evaluate performance

• Drive improvements and set direction for meta and economy systems

• Provide guidance and feedback to other designers where needed

What We're Looking For

• Strong Game Design background with deep expertise in economy design and meta systems, ideally in a lead capacity

• Experience with live F2P mobile games - you understand how meta decisions affect retention, monetization, and player lifecycle

• Ability to think in systems: progression curves, reward schedules, long-term balance

• Analytical mindset - comfortable validating decisions with data

• Structured, documentation-oriented - you leave your work understandable by others

• High ownership, comfortable working with limited direction in a small team

• Experience taking ownership of features or systems end-to-end

Nice to have

• Experience with midcore or PvP games

• Familiarity with Ads monetization and hybrid monetization models

• Previous experience mentoring or leading other designers

Why this role is interesting

• Opportunity to work on a successful live game with real scale, where economy decisions have visible player and business impact

• A highly strategic design role focused on systems thinking — balancing progression curves, rewards, and monetization holistically

• Ability to influence the long-term direction of the product, not just individual features
