We’re looking for a creative Game Designer to join our vibrant Rovio Toronto team, makers of Angry Birds Bounce on Apple Arcade and an unannounced new project, and we need your help to make it truly joyful.

In this role, you’ll be a key contributor to the game’s core experience, helping to bridge cozy progression and meaningful upgrades with a high-speed, momentum-driven action phase.

You will have impact and fun at work by :

• Crafting the Flow : Contribute to the design of the "Action Phase," focusing on level content, pacing, and the "ebb and flow" that makes every session feel rewarding.
• Expanding the Experience : Help design varied gameplay modifiers and secondary modes that keep the core loop fresh and surprising for players.
• Building the World : Work on the synergy between the meta-game and the action gameplay to ensure a cohesive and satisfying player journey.
• Hands-on Implementation : Use Unity to directly implement, tweak, and polish game elements, moving from concept to playable reality.
