About Liquidnitro Games
Liquidnitro Games is India’s flagship live-services and game production studio. Founded by industry veterans, we work closely with some of the world’s leading game developers and publishers to co-develop, launch, and operate games at global scale.
Our work spans mobile, PC, and console. We specialize in 0-to-1 game development, live services, co-development, and unlocking new markets. We don’t just ship games. We take ownership, partner deeply, and design for millions of players over long lifecycles.
The Role
We are hiring a Senior / Lead Game Designer with deep specialization in economy design, probability systems, and mathematical modeling, and hands-on experience operating live games over long periods of time.
This is a core systems role. You will be responsible for designing, tuning, and sustaining economies and probability-driven mechanics in a live environment, using data, experimentation, and rigorous analysis to guide decisions.
Key Responsibilities
- Own the design and long-term health of game economies, including currencies, rewards, sinks, progression, and pacing.
- Design, implement, and tune probability-driven systems (e.g. card draws, random outcomes, shuffles, odds, variance control).
- Build and maintain mathematical models and simulations to validate balance, expected value, risk, and player outcomes.
- Actively operate and evolve systems in a live-ops environment, responding to real player behavior and performance data.
- Run and interpret A/B tests and controlled experiments to evaluate economy changes, reward structures, and tuning decisions.
- Work closely with Analytics and Product to define hypotheses, success metrics, and rollout strategies.
- Identify and resolve economy risks such as inflation, stagnation, exploitability, or player trust issues.
- Clearly document systems so they are transparent, scalable, and maintainable.
- Provide senior design leadership and mentorship on systems-heavy features.
Experience & Skills
- 7+ years of professional game design experience with direct ownership of economy or systems design.
- Experience working on long-running live-ops games with post-launch responsibility for tuning and iteration.
- Hands-on experience with A/B testing frameworks and economy experimentation in live environments.
- Strong applied understanding of:
- Probability theory and statistical distributions
- Expected value, variance, and risk balancing
- Progression curves and reward pacing
- Economy stability and long-term sustainability
- Comfortable building and working with spreadsheets, simulations, and analytical models.
- Ability to translate complex mathematical systems into clear, player-facing experiences.
- Proven ability to collaborate with Engineering, Analytics, and Product teams.
Our Expectations
- Operates with a systems-first mindset and strong design judgment.
- Takes ownership of outcomes, not just features.
- Can challenge assumptions using data and logic, not instinct alone.
- Sets quality and rigor standards for economy and systems design within the team.
Why This Role Matters
This role directly shapes how players experience fairness, tension, reward, and long-term engagement. The systems you design will be live, evolving, and under constant player scrutiny—requiring precision, discipline, and strong design instincts.
