Join King's Game Design Talent Pool!
At King, we're always interested in connecting with talented Game Designers who are passionate about creating engaging experiences for millions of players.
Whether you're an Associate, Mid-level, Senior, Principal or Lead Game Designer, we'd love to hear from you.

What we're typically looking for
Our Game Designers work across a variety of areas including gameplay, systems, level design, LiveOps, economy design and feature design. While every role is different, we often look for designers with experience in:
- Designing engaging gameplay, features or systems for games, ideally within mobile, casual or free-to-play.
- Strong game design fundamentals, including player motivation, mechanics, systems, balancing and progression.
- Taking features from concept through implementation, using iteration, player feedback and data to refine the experience.
- Collaborating closely with Product, Engineering, UX, Art and other disciplines to deliver player-focused solutions.
- Communicating ideas clearly through design documentation, prototypes and presentations.
- Balancing creativity with analytical thinking to solve player and product challenges.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We welcome designers from a range of backgrounds and genres. While experience in mobile free-to-play is valuable, we're always keen to speak with people who are passionate about game design, enjoy solving complex design challenges, and are excited to learn and grow.
Why King?
At King, you'll have the opportunity to shape experiences enjoyed by millions of players around the world. Our Game Designers work in collaborative, cross-functional teams where creativity, curiosity and experimentation are encouraged.
Whether you're passionate about core gameplay, LiveOps, systems, progression, level design or player experience, you'll have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact while continuing to develop your craft.
