WE ARE LOOKING FOR A LIVE OPS GAME DESIGNER TO JOIN THE HAY DAY TEAM TO DRIVE PLAYER ENGAGEMENT AND BUSINESS GROWTH THROUGH LIVE OPERATIONS AND MONETISATION-RELATED INITIATIVES.

As a Live Ops Designer, you own and execute on multiple areas of the game, all while providing unmatched player experiences. You will get to dream up and build out fresh, innovative events that keep our players surprised and entertained. At the same time, you will constantly iterate on our live ops framework to ensure it serves as a high-quality platform for our most loyal fans, as well as for those just joining the farm. Balancing world-class player experiences with business growth should be second nature to you. You design so that players invest in the game because they love it, knowing it will enrich their journey for years to come.

We are seeking a designer driven by a passion for crafting world-class game experiences. You should be someone who takes Hay Day seriously yet recognises that a touch of silliness is vital for true success. You naturally consider every edge case but understand that working in isolation always creates blind spots. If you possess exceptional talent, a growth-oriented mindset, and the drive to tackle remarkably difficult design hurdles while having fun, then it is time for you to join our farm!

- Collaborate with the Hay Day Live Ops team to plan and maintain the calendar, balancing events, economy, and content drops so players always have something new to engage.

- Plan and execute ways to deliver fresh game experiences through creatively remixing existing game capabilities.

- Generate creative design ideas for new events and monetization mechanics.

- Plan the live ops economy design, ensuring the players always have intuitive incentives to engage with the calendar.

- At least 5 years of experience in live-service, free-to-play mobile games.

- Demonstrated track record in running and growing a live free-to-play game.

- Experience with live ops tooling.

- Deep understanding of engagement drivers in live service games.

- Strong analytical skills with the ability to apply them to your work.

- Relentless problem solver who is also not afraid to ask for help.

- Sharp communicator who frames conflicting perspectives and trade-offs succinctly.

- Patient collaborator who listens first, builds others up and always offers help.

- Interest in and previous experience with AI tooling.

- Comfortable with ambiguity and high autonomy in a fast-paced environment.

WOULD BE NICE IF YOU ALSO HAVE

- Experience working within a long-lived codebase and design systems, filling in gaps as needed.

- Background in free-to-play monetization design.

- Experience balancing and iterating on live events through testing.

- Deep knowledge of Hay Day/casual genre audiences.

YOU ARE NOT YOUR JOB TITLE ™

Here, you won’t need to focus on chasing titles https://supr.cl/jd-job-title or climbing ladders. Internally, our job titles don’t include prefixes like Senior, Junior, Principal, or Director. Recognition isn’t tied to your title, as it doesn't define the impact you can have around here.

BENEFITS AND COMPENSATION

Luring you in with glitter, glamour, and gems isn't what we're about. We want you to enjoy your time here fully, so we structure our compensation and benefits https://supr.cl/jd-benefits with that in mind. It starts with perceiving you as a human being, not a resource.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
