Are you passionate about your work and want to pursue your dreams?
Join the ZiMAD team, and let’s collaborate to create exceptional games together!
ZiMAD is a US mobile game publisher and developer that has been at the forefront of the gaming industry since 2009. We are a dynamic multinational team, speaking 15 languages and living in 63 cities across 17 countries. With an impressive portfolio of world-class free-to-play projects, including titles like Magic Jigsaw Puzzles, Puzzle Villa, Art of Puzzles, Dominoes, and many others, we constantly push boundaries and believe that games can be more than just entertainment.
We’ve forged partnerships with internationally renowned IPs (like Disney, Nickelodeon, LIFE, Sony Pictures etc.) and strive to develop games that sharpen mental well-being and deliver remarkable user experiences.
We are looking for a Senior Game Designer with strong experience in mobile PvP board/card games to help evolve and scale a successful live product.
You will work on a live game with 1M+ monthly active users, improving core gameplay, matchmaking, progression, and monetization. We are looking for someone who combines strong product thinking, hands-on game design skills, and a deep understanding of live operations in competitive mobile games.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
