Wildlife Studios, a leading mobile game developer and publisher with 4+ billion downloads and 60+ released titles, is seeking a Game Designer & Game Lead to join the New Games Product team. This role is central to defining and launching new game titles that will drive the company's growth.
You will be responsible for proposing new game theses grounded in market research, defining the game's vision and product roadmap from prototyping through global launch, and designing core game features with detailed specifications. You'll coordinate across engineering, art, distribution, and data science teams, providing product and game design leadership through competitor analysis, playtests, player feedback, and data-driven insights. Your responsibilities include reviewing design decisions from team members, analyzing performance of released versions, and continuously refining the roadmap based on findings.
Key qualifications include proven experience in product or game design roles within game development (shipped games on any platform or led product development in game jams/hackathons), lifelong passion for gaming, flexibility with iterative development cycles and frequent releases, strong interpersonal skills, and strong data analysis capabilities. Nice-to-have skills include mobile game shipping experience, independent prototype development capabilities, and familiarity with AI tools for art creation or programming.
You should be an analytical and structured thinker who can harness complexity into logical architecture, a natural but humble leader capable of mentoring and coordinating multiple teams, and someone genuinely excited about creating games that engage billions of players globally. Wildlife values meaningful work, meaningful relationships, continuous learning, and radical commitment to product excellence.
