Founding/Advisor Game Systems Designer

What will you do?

Architect Macro & Micro Economies: Design the mathematical models for token sinks, faucets, and reward distribution to ensure the platform economy remains stable.
Define Progression Systems: Create the logic for user leveling, XP formulas, and achievement tiers that align with trading volume and platform loyalty.
Model Incentive Structures: Build simulations to predict how gamification mechanics (e.g., quests, leaderboards) affect user behavior and platform liquidity.
NFT Utility Integration: Define the technical attributes and functional benefits of NFTs within the trading ecosystem (e.g., fee discounts, staking multipliers).
Collaborate on Compliance: Work with Legal teams to ensure gamified mechanics do not cross into “unregulated gambling” territory, maintaining a high standard of investor protection.
Draft Technical Specifications: Produce rigorous system documentation (logic flows, math tables) for the engineering team to implement.

What will you bring?

5+ years in Systems Design: Proven experience in complex economy balancing (MMORPGs, DeFi protocols, or high-level Fintech loyalty programs).
Advanced Mathematical Modeling: Proficiency in Excel, Machinations.io, or Python to simulate and stress-test economic loops.
Deep Web3 Knowledge: Clear understanding of gas fees, smart contract logic, and NFT standards (ERC-721/1155).
Behavioral Economics Foundation: Strong grasp of loss aversion, reward schedules, and motivation theory applied to financial products.
Technical Documentation: Ability to write “implementation-ready” specs for Rust/Golang Engineers.
Risk Management Mindset: Experience identifying and mitigating “system exploits” or unintended economic loopholes.

Nice to have
