🎯 Requirements

• More than 6 years of experience as a professional game designer. • Deep knowledge of and experience with Free-to-Play Live-Ops and content pipelines. • Advanced proficiency with spreadsheets and other design tools. • Strong mastery of game data structures and configuration at a technical level. • Thorough understanding of the commercial appeal of games, including audiences outside your personal player demographic. • Bilingual in French and English.
