Economic Game Designer W/M/NB

At Million Victories, we aim to bring the powerful emotions of Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) games to millions of players: the thrill of epic battles, the pride of shared progress, the strength of a united community!

To achieve this, we are redefining the genre: we create unique, innovative, and accessible MMO games for mobile.

Since the launch of our first game, Million Lords, a real‑time strategy MMO, we’ve seen steady and solid growth. Backed by the successful completion of a nearly $40 million funding round, including both primary and secondary investments, and supported by a team of 35 professionals, we are accelerating our growth to take our game to the next level.

Our culture: we believe it’s possible to pursue excellence within a culture of kindness.

At Million Victories, performance grows from trust, autonomy, and the richness of diverse backgrounds and perspectives.

Working at Million Victories means

Having your initiatives recognized and valued

Enjoying real autonomy in how you organize your work

Joining a welcoming, supportive, and committed team

Your Mission
You will work on a high‑scale live mobile game, with a direct impact on the game economy, player experience, and business performance. You will design and iterate on key systems (progression, resources, offers, events) in a data‑driven, Live Ops environment with fast and measurable iterations.

You will join a small, agile team where your decisions have a tangible and immediate impact at scale. You play a central role in the evolution and growth of Million Lords as an Economic Game Designer.

Your Role
Fully integrated within the team, you collaborate closely with game design, engineering, and data/BI teams to design, balance, and maintain engaging systems that encourage players to invest both time and money into the game. You are involved throughout the entire production cycle, from pre‑production to live operations and will notably work on:

Design, prototype, and iterate on the game’s economy systems (currencies, sinks/sources, progression/experience, rewards) to drive long‑term player engagement and monetization

Define and maintain the balance between free and paid content to ensure a fair, compelling, and sustainable player experience

Analyze in‑game data and player behavior to evaluate the performance of the economy and business model, identify opportunities, and recommend actionable improvements

Collaborate closely with Game Designers to ensure the economy is fully aligned with core gameplay loops and player motivations

Work with Product, Live Ops, and Analytics teams to continuously optimize the economy through A/B testing and data‑driven decisions

Partner with Design, UI/UX and Engineering teams to make sure the implementation of features and economic systems properly exposes the information needed to engage the player in the experience and favors monetization

Good mastery of F2P monetization mechanics (offers, pricing, pay‑to‑fast balance)

Strong proficiency in Excel or Google Sheets (modeling, simulations)
