ABOUT THE ROLE
WHAT YOU WILL DO
Curate and optimize song lists across multiple games and markets — research music trends, form clear hypotheses for each song you add, and use performance data to keep the library fresh and converting.
Collaborate with the Product Owner to plan and promote songs via LiveOps events that drive engagement spikes and reinforce the live calendar.
Design level mechanics and charting for each song — translate musical structure into gameplay, and tune difficulty curves, drop points, and revive moments to maximize player engagement.
Drive playtesting and data-led iteration — run structured playtests, analyze level-design metrics (drop-off, revive rate, completion, satisfaction), and ship measurable improvements game-over-game.
Collaborate with artists to define the visual theme of each level/song — own the creative direction so audio, mechanics, and visuals feel like one coherent experience for the player.
Produce sound effects, and ensure all in-game audio meets quality and device-playback standards.
