Job Description

We are looking for a Senior Game Designer to lead the design of cognitive puzzle experiences focused on memory, focus, pattern recognition, logic, attention and daily habit formation.

Key Responsibilities

• Design engaging cognitive puzzle gameplay specifically optimized for wellness and cognitive training goals (attention, memory, processing speed, executive functions) for a broad casual audience
• Create short-session cognitive game loops that are easy to start, satisfying to repeat, and support long-term habit formation while remaining entertainment-first
• Define progression, adaptive difficulty, rewards, streaks, milestones and long-term motivation systems tailored to cognitive engagement and daily habit building
• Build clear user journeys from first session to regular daily use, focused on sustainable cognitive habits
• Work closely with Product, UX/UI, Art, Engineering and Analytics
• Turn ideas into clear specs, flows, wireframes and balancing documentation
• Use player data, telemetry and A/B tests to tune challenge, personalization, cognitive difficulty curves and retention
• Keep product framing strictly entertainment/wellness-oriented, without any medical or therapeutic claims

Requirements

• Senior game design experience in mobile casual, puzzle or F2P games
• Proven hands-on experience designing cognitive training, brain-training, wellness or strong habit-forming products (mobile preferred). Portfolio must clearly highlight relevant work
• Deep understanding of cognitive gameplay mechanics and how to design short, rewarding sessions around attention, memory, processing speed and executive functions for casual audiences
• Strong understanding of retention, progression, live ops and player motivation in the context of daily habit products
• Ability to design simple but deep systems for mature/casual audiences
• Experience with analytics, funnels, cohorts, A/B tests and difficulty tuning (including adaptive/personalized difficulty)
• Clear documentation skills and ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams

Expected Output

• Cognitive puzzle concepts grounded in wellness and cognitive training principles
• Progression and personalization systems that adapt to individual engagement and performance patterns
• User journey maps focused on building sustainable daily cognitive habits
• Feature specs ready for implementation
• Telemetry and success-metric plans (engagement, retention, habit formation, session quality)
