About The Company
Flecks Labs builds games that players love — engaging, fast-paced experiences designed for scale. We operate across mobile and Roblox, with a portfolio-first approach: ship fast, learn faster, and double down on what works. We're a small, high-velocity team that punches well above its weight.
About The Role
We're hiring a Game Designer who thrives in a fast-moving, scrappy environment. You'll own the design layer end-to-end — from core loop concepting to live balance tweaks — working directly with developers and artists. This is not a documentation-heavy role; you'll be expected to prototype, playtest, and iterate quickly. Your creativity and adaptability will be essential in shaping compelling gameplay experiences that resonate with our diverse player base. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to ensure the seamless integration of design elements, bringing innovative ideas to life while maintaining a focus on user engagement and retention.
Qualifications
- Proven experience designing mobile and/or PC games — shipped titles strongly preferred
- Fluency in free-to-play (F2P) design patterns — progression systems, economy design, first-time user experience (FTUE), retention hooks
- Ability to design and balance in-game economies, including currencies, gacha systems, battle passes, and cosmetics
- Comfort working without a rigid spec — you can take a rough concept and shape it into a playable loop
- Strong instincts on pacing, difficulty curves, and player psychology
- Good communication skills; able to work asynchronously with a small cross-functional team
- Genuine passion for gaming with awareness of current trends across platforms
Responsibilities
- Conceptualize and develop core game mechanics and systems that align with project goals and player engagement strategies
- Create prototypes to test and validate gameplay ideas quickly and efficiently
- Iterate on game designs based on playtest feedback, data insights, and evolving project requirements
- Collaborate closely with artists, developers, and other stakeholders to implement and refine game features
- Design, balance, and refine in-game economies, ensuring a compelling and fair experience for players
- Maintain a player-centric mindset, ensuring game flow, pacing, and difficulty curves optimize user retention and satisfaction
- Document design decisions clearly and communicate effectively across teams to ensure alignment
- Stay updated on industry trends and incorporate innovative mechanics and features into game designs
