Job Description

At Bullet Echo, we’re looking for a Lead Meta & Economy Designer to help shape progression, monetization, and long-term player engagement.

What You'll Do

  • Own meta-game systems: progression, hero advancement, seasonal loops, long-term engagement mechanics
  • Design and balance the in-game economy: currencies, sinks and sources, offer structure, reward systems
  • Conduct an audit of the existing meta and economy as your first priority - understand what's there before changing it
  • Collaborate with LiveOps on event design and reward structures
  • Work with Analytics to define success metrics and evaluate performance
  • Drive improvements and set direction for meta and economy systems
  • Provide guidance and feedback to other designers where needed

What We're Looking For

  • Strong Game Design background with deep expertise in economy design and meta systems, ideally in a lead capacity
  • Experience with live F2P mobile games - you understand how meta decisions affect retention, monetization, and player lifecycle
  • Ability to think in systems: progression curves, reward schedules, long-term balance
  • Analytical mindset - comfortable validating decisions with data
  • Structured, documentation-oriented - you leave your work understandable by others
  • High ownership, comfortable working with limited direction in a small team
  • Experience taking ownership of features or systems end-to-end
  • Fluency in both English and Russian would be considered an advantage

Nice to Have

  • Experience with midcore or PvP games
  • Familiarity with Ads monetization and hybrid monetization models
  • Previous experience mentoring or leading other designers

Why this role is interesting

  • Opportunity to work on a successful live game with real scale, where economy decisions have visible player and business impact
  • A highly strategic design role focused on systems thinking — balancing progression curves, rewards, and monetization holistically
  • Ability to influence the long-term direction of the product, not just individual features
