Senior Economy Designer

Overview

Lemon Sky Studios is one of Southeast Asia’s premier game development studios, trusted by the world’s top publishers to deliver AAA-quality experiences. As we expand into full game development and publishing, we’re building an ambitious new free-to-play mobile game powered by a world-renowned entertainment IP.

We’re looking for a mathematically driven Senior Economy Designer to architect and balance the game’s economy and progression systems from the ground up.

Role Overview

As the Senior Economy Designer, you will be responsible for building the economic systems that underpin progression, monetization, and engagement in a large-scale, live-operated mobile game. This role requires a deep understanding of player psychology, F2P mobile monetization mechanics, and mathematical modeling.

You will design, model, and tune a system that scales globally—balancing the experience between free and paying players while supporting long-term retention and revenue. This role will work closely with design, product, analytics, and Live Ops to ensure the game remains engaging, fair, and profitable over time.

Responsibilities

• Core Economy Design — Define the in-game economy, including currencies, resources, pricing models, upgrade costs, gacha / drop rates, and reward systems.
• Monetization Systems — Design monetization features such as battle passes, premium stores, offers, and bundles aligned with player segments and spending behaviors.
• Modeling & Simulation — Build and maintain economy simulation models in Excel, Python, or equivalent tools to evaluate balance, progression pacing, and player LTV across multiple segments.
• Data-Driven Balancing — Collaborate with analytics and Live Ops to continuously adjust and refine the economy based on live data and KPIs (retention, ARPDAU, conversion, etc.).
• Scalable Progression Design — Ensure the game supports long-term content scalability with extensible systems for level progression, character growth, and collectible dynamics.
• Collaborative Integration — Partner with game designers, engineers, and product managers to ensure economic features are technically feasible, player-friendly, and aligned with the overall game design.
