ABOUT THE ROLE

At EDURINO, we’re looking for a Senior Game Designer who can do it all - from crafting delightful UX flows to diving deep into analytics and data. You will shape our interactive learning worlds end-to-end, helping hundred-thousands of children explore with fun, curiosity, and confidence.
If you love switching between creative ideation, hands-on design, data exploration, prototyping, and user research, this is your stage.

What you will do at EDURINO

• Own the full creative journey from early vision to shipped episodes - including concepting, prototyping, testing, and final polish.
• Drive performance by owning core metrics such as retention, engagement, and completion rates across your episodes.
• Validate, iterate, refine: Test hypotheses, validate early concepts, and confidently cut what doesn’t create impact.
• Observe real players: Run playtests with kids, turning insights into actionable improvements.
• Shape the full player journey: Iterate on core loops, progression, difficulty, meta systems, reward structures, and content cadence to craft cohesive and motivating experiences.
• Create clarity for the team: Produce documentation such as UX flows, system outlines, and GDDs that align teams and accelerate execution.
• Collaborate across disciplines: Work seamlessly with educational experts, artists, engineers, product managers, and data specialists.

You are a highly versatile game-design generalist who thrives in fast-paced, iterative environments. You bring a broad toolkit, a love for hands-on problem-solving, and the ability to balance creativity with analytical thinking. You are excited to build the future of educational games - and you don’t hesitate to dive into details, explore data, or reshape features when needed.

Skills you need to bring

• 5+ years of experience in Game Design across multiple areas (e.g., UX, systems, level design, economy, progression, gameplay).
• Proven track record of meaningfully improving live games or shipped products.
• Strong analytical foundation: Comfortable with A/B testing, cohort analysis, segmentation, and turning data into design decisions.
• Deep understanding of game mechanics, motivation models, and player psychology.
• Hands-on ownership: Ability to self-prioritize, make confident decisions, and drive initiatives in a fast-growing environment.
• Clear, proactive communication and business-fluent English (C1+).
• Collborative mindset and confidence working with diverse, interdisciplinary teams.

Advantages

• Experience designing educational or children’s games.
• Strong familiarity with Unity and rapid prototyping workflows.
• Ability to blend creative, technical, and analytical skills into holistic product thinking.
