Game Designer (Product)
ABOUT US
Spinomenal is a fast-growing content provider in the online casino industry, driven by creativity, innovation, and collaboration.
We develop visually rich and engaging games enjoyed by players worldwide, combining high-quality art, animation, and technology to deliver compelling gaming experiences.
About the position
We’re looking for a Game Designer (Product) to own the execution of a slot game from product direction to live release.
Product leadership defines the concept, theme, and core mechanic - you translate that direction into a build-ready design, ensure perfect alignment with the mathematical model, and drive a high-quality, tightly polished player experience.
Responsibilities
- Turn product direction into clear, build-ready specs (flows, UI states, triggers, transitions, edge cases)
- Define the full game experience: base game, bonuses, feature logic, and player-facing communication
- Ensure mechanical clarity and consistency throughout production and prevent feature drift
- Partner with the mathematician to translate RTP and volatility into the intended “feel” (rhythm, tension, reward perception)
- Review builds and delivers precise feedback on pacing, timing, readability, winning presentation, and feature clarity
- Drive polish across animation, sound, and interaction so everything serves the mechanic (not distracts from it)
- Collaborate daily with PMs, engineers, artists, UI, math, sound, and QA; document decisions and unblock teams fast
- Balance player psychology and business outcomes, supporting KPIs while staying true to the mechanic’s risk/reward profile
- Ensure technical feasibility and regulatory readiness across markets
- Define acceptance criteria, support QA triage, validate fixes, and provide final design sign-off before release
Requirements
- 2-4 years of experience designing slot games in the gambling industry, with hands-on execution, ownership, or experience designing casual games.
- Strong ability to work with math teams and understand how RTP/volatility shapes player experience
- Experience in a structured game production pipeline (Agile is a plus)
- Close attention to detail across UX, visuals, timing, animation, and sound
- Business awareness (performance goals, bet structure, profitability tradeoffs)
- Strong cross-functional communication and ability to drive progress across multiple teams
Nice to Have:
- Experience with multi-market compliance and regulated casino environments - an advantage
- Familiarity with Jira/Confluence (or similar) and strong spec - writing discipline
- Experience supporting live production pipelines and release processes
