Game Designer (Gameplay Modes) – Paper.io 2

Responsibilities

We are representing a leading mobile gaming publisher seeking a Game Designer to focus on multiplayer gameplay modes for a globally successful casual title with hundreds of millions of active players. In this hands-on role, you will:

• Design and prototype new multiplayer gameplay modes that maintain the core universe while exploring creative new directions
• Improve and iterate on existing party modes based on player feedback and analytics
• Define intuitive, readable game rules optimized for one-finger mobile controls
• Balance accessibility, competitive depth, pacing, and replayability across diverse player skill levels
• Rapidly prototype ideas, test them with real players, and make data-driven decisions to cut or refine concepts
• Collaborate closely with the live game team to transform design concepts into polished, playable experiences
• Document designs clearly for cross-functional stakeholders
• Fine-tune modes directly in Unity whenever possible to accelerate iteration speed

This position requires someone who thrives on moving quickly from concept to prototype, embracing iteration and feedback throughout the design process.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in mobile free-to-play game design, with a focus on creating new games, gameplay modes, or prototypes from scratch
• Proven track record shipping player-facing content, ideally on mobile platforms
• Strong understanding of multiplayer and competitive gameplay mechanics
• Excellent sense of pacing, visual clarity, and player motivation
• Pragmatic, iterative design approach: prototype quickly, test rigorously, and confidently cut what doesn't work
• Ability to work independently and take full ownership of features from concept through launch
• Strong English communication and collaboration skills
• Bonus: Unity experience with ability to prototype directly in-engine, familiarity with mobile controls and party game mechanics, or experience working on live game content

Location: Paris. This is an on-site or hybrid role depending on client requirements.
