Game Designer - Madbox H/F - 74

Madbox is a fast-growing mobile gaming company with a very unique way of developing games. Everything has been made for teams to take as much ownership as possible, unleash their creativity, bring performance, and have as much fun as possible.

We opened a brand-new studio in Annecy one year ago, a stunning city in the French Alps designed to spark creativity and collaboration.

As part of Madbox, you'll work with a small, passionate team with real ownership, working side by side with veterans behind Pocket Champs, our first casual hit. Together, you'll help build bold, accessible, and unique mobile games from the ground up, where team chemistry and creative ambition come first.

This is a unique opportunity to join a promising game at its earliest stage, within a tight-knit New Games team based in our newly opened Annecy studio (8-10 people). You'll iterate fast on a strong game concept, shaping it on the road to soft launch and beyond.

As the game grows, as a Game Designer, you'll help build the foundations of its Live Ops system, playing a key role in preparing it to scale and defining a long-term Live Ops vision for titles that show strong traction. You won't just contribute to a game, you'll help turn early potential into a lasting success.

If you're passionate about making games and you have an entrepreneurial mindset, join us in this new adventure!

- Design and balance game features
- Create engaging gameplay mechanics and systems
- Contribute to the ideation and development of new features
