Jobbeschreibung

SOFTGAMES is looking for an innovative Technical Game Designer with a passion for designing smart and adaptive AI-powered systems for both game projects and development processes. As one of the first AI-focused designers in our studio, you will help shape the future of how we design, build, and operate our live games with the power of AI. Your mission is to leverage advanced AI tools to accelerate production, improve creative workflows, support game teams, and ensure we maintain the high-quality standards our players expect.

While your core focus will be implementing AI across design and production, this role requires much more than crafting prompts. You should bring a solid foundation in game design along with a strong artistic intuition — capable of optimizing pipelines, improving systems, and pushing innovation across teams.

Qualified applicants will be expected to complete a test.

Your Role:

• Drive the integration of AI tools and systems into game design, content creation, and production workflows across multiple projects.

• Build, evaluate, and refine AI-powered design processes to boost efficiency without compromising the creative direction or unique feel of our games.

• Collaborate closely with game designers, developers, and product teams to identify opportunities where AI can enhance production, design decisions, or live operations.

• Inspire, educate, and mentor team members on AI best practices, tools, and emerging capabilities.

• Stay ahead of trends in AI, game design, and interactive media to ensure SOFTGAMES remains at the forefront of innovation.

• Create and maintain clear documentation for tools, pipelines, guidelines, and workflows.

• Continually analyze and improve existing design, art, and animation processes — removing bottlenecks and implementing solutions that reduce iteration time.

• Work with cross-functional teams to solve technical or production-related challenges and ensure smooth, efficient design workflows.

Your Profile:

• 5+ years of experience as a Game Designer, Technical Designer, or a similar hybrid role within the gaming industry.
• Experience and knowledge in coding Python.
• Hands‑on experience with Vibecoding and using AI tools such as loveable, ChatGPT, or other generative systems.
• Deep understanding of game systems and economy design for FTP casual space.
• Experience with game engines (Unity, Unreal) and familiarity with asset or content management systems.
• Ability to document workflows and communicate complex concepts clearly.
• Excellent problem‑solving skills and the ability to oversee multiple projects or processes simultaneously.
• Strong fluency in English, both written and verbal.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to adapt to new technologies quickly and champion change in a fast-moving environment.

Plus:

• Knowledge of HTML5 for web-based games or interactive content.
• Experience working on casual, mobile, or live-service games is a strong advantage.

Benefits:

Softgames offers a great package including:

• Remote first - We have a flexible working setup. Either fully remote wherever you are or on-site in our modern office in central Berlin – you decide.
