Job summary

Itcharm is seeking a Product Manager / AI Game Designer to turn concepts into playable prototypes for word and puzzle games. You will prototype mechanics, design simple levels, and integrate them into an existing template with AI-assisted development.

This hands-on, senior-leaning role sits at the intersection of Game Design, Product, and AI. You will work directly with the founder, rapidly test ideas, and keep the scope small to deliver quick iterates in a fully remote team.

Qualifications

2–3 years of relevant GameDev experience.
Background as Game Designer, Product Manager, Game Developer moving toward Product/Game Design, or R&D specialist.
Strong understanding of word/puzzle mechanics and level design.
Ability to take a game idea from concept to a working prototype, not just documentation.
Basic understanding of how game mechanics, code, and product infrastructure work together.

Responsibilities

Develop and prototype game mechanics, primarily for word and puzzle games: word splitting, letter selection, word search, and similar mechanics.
Design simple levels around new mechanics.
Take a product idea and an existing game template, build the core mechanic, integrate it, and bring the mini-project to a playable state.
Test and iterate on mechanics based on product feedback.
Set up basic game balance and reward logic, such as coins and rewards.
Use AI tools extensively to generate and iterate on code.
Work closely with the Game Designer and founder to rapidly test new product ideas.
Ensure that new mechanics fit into the existing product and technical infrastructure.
