Your mission
This is a company built for growth, not comfort.
When you join exmox, you’re stepping onto a global, highly competitive playing field - solving real problems in environments that push you beyond your comfort zone. We create high-performing consumer products across multiple brands in one of the most competitive industries there is: mobile gaming. You will be part of a company on a path of hyper-growth, leading one of the biggest innovations in the mobile gaming industry: rewarded user acquisition.
As a (Senior) Economy Designer (m/f/x), you will join the Product Live Operations team and shape the in-app economy across our rewarded apps. Working closely with Product, Data, and Design, ensure rewards, incentives, and progression systems are balanced, engaging, and aligned with our business goals.
In this role, you will analyze user behavior, engagement patterns, and economic flows to optimize retention, progression, and monetization while building scalable economies that support both player engagement and sustainable business outcomes.
What You’ll Own:
* Design and continuously optimize a hybrid economy combining real cash rewards, virtual currencies, and meta-progression systems such as streaks, boosters, and luck-based mechanics.
* Model and manage money flow, including sinks, sources, inflation, and deflation to ensure economic stability.
* Define and refine reward loops that drive retention, habit formation, engagement beyond core advertiser offers, and sustainable payout costs.
* Develop and tune specific reward mechanics, including daily/weekly streaks, time- or condition-based reward boosters, and randomized reward systems (e.g., slot machine–style mechanics).
* Partner closely with Product, Data, and Engineering teams to translate economy concepts into actionable systems.
* Run simulations, A/B tests, and live balancing experiments to validate and improve economy designs.
* Monitor live economy KPIs and proactively adjust payout ratios, reward availability, and progression curves.
* Document economy logic clearly to ensure alignment and understanding across internal teams.
Your profile
* Experienced: 5+ years of experience in game economy design, live operations, or monetization within free-to-play mobile games. Proven track record of creating balanced, sustainable in-game economies that drive engagement and retention.
* Expert: Deep understanding of player behavior, progression systems, and reward mechanics, with the ability to design scalable economies that enhance long-term player value.
* Analytical: Strong mathematical and data-driven mindset, with experience in predictive analytics, A/B testing, and leveraging large datasets to inform economy and monetization decisions.
* Technical: Skilled in designing and optimizing in-game systems, with familiarity in applying machine learning and data science methodologies to improve player engagement and revenue outcomes.
* Communication & Collaboration: Excellent communication skills with a history of working cross-functionally across product, design, live operations, and data teams.
* Passion for the industry: Passionate about F2P mobile games and player psychology, with a keen eye for creating rewarding experiences that balance fun, challenge, and monetization.
