our professional team and deliver fresh experiences for players. We are
currently working with international IPs and you will have the opportunity to
work on PC and console projects, which offer development challenges across a
wide spectrum, presenting unique opportunities for developers from all
backgrounds.
Being a Lead Designer at Gameloft means more than designing games. We have to
understand the experience we want to create for players, and then design the
game features or changes required to bring this experience into reality.
From prototyping new concepts to balancing gameplay, designing systems, or
crafting ground-breaking mechanics, your work will have the potential to
inspire gamers and designers for years to come.
Comprehensive design sensibilities, problem-solving, agile execution, and
considered communication are our tools of the trade as we strive to bring new
experiences to our audience.

gather input to craft the best concepts and realise compelling gameplay
experiences.

goals are and why.
Craft design documentation for presentation to both internal and external
stakeholders.
Thrive in an environment that values rapid prototyping and pitching, you
will be generating ideas while recognising that great ideas can come from
anyone, with a professional maturity to let go of the ideas that don't
make it.
Bring the hands-on experience to the role and not shy away from getting
stuck in, to craft prototypes and refine gameplay experiences, getting to
the essence of why a mechanic is fun and memorable.
Embody an agile mindset, understanding the need for iterative design and
being adept at breaking down high-level design concepts into achievable
goals based on the core value.
Qualifications
A seasoned game designer; with 6+ years shipping titles in design roles,
with at least one or more successful AAA / global titles in a lead
position across multiple platforms including mobile; A natural mentor; you
can motivate and support other designers, guiding them towards success.
A leader, capable of growing and managing a creative group of people in a
dynamic environment.
A strong communicator; your verbal and written communications are precise
and unambiguous; your best work comes from collaboration and you believe
that excellence comes from dynamic communication throughout the design
process.
A design virtuoso; you concisely articulate and envision game concepts,
analysing and ruminating mechanics with balance; you're fluent in
prevalent game systems and mechanics but have the critical thinking skills
to know when it's time to try something novel.
A gamer; you are passionate about games with a wide breadth of game
knowledge that you've enjoyed, and you easily identify and explain a
game's strengths and weaknesses.
