As a Game Designer, you will be focusing on designing and balancing engaging gameplay mechanics. Hearts of Iron, the grand strategy wargame, has over a million players monthly (and growing) expectantly waiting for what's next for their favorite franchise.

Game Designer Hearts of Iron

We're on the lookout for a game designer driven by a passion for their craft and a fervor for crafting thrilling experiences for our players. If you're someone who finds motivation in the autonomy to lead tasks and deliver outstanding results, you're the ideal fit.

A keen interest in history and its narratives is a great plus.

Your mission

You will be working closely with the Game Director and be the owner of the design in feature teams. Taking ownership of the designs means that you will be working hands-on from research to design, implementation, and balancing of gameplay systems. This includes being adept at communicating with your peers and colleagues in other disciplines, writing and maintaining design documents, as well as testing implemented features and making sure they live up to expectations.

Your role goes beyond crafting engaging gameplay - it involves actively engaging with our community, giving sneak peeks of yours & the team's latest work as well as working closely with our marketing team to come up with the best way to showcase the game. In doing this, you will be central to shaping the interaction with the people that matter most to us - our players.

Skills that we are looking for
  1. Solid work experience in system design
  2. Solid work experience in gameplay design
  3. Experience with scripting
  4. Interest in strategy/war games; PDS games in particular
  5. Fluency in English

As a creative force at Paradox, you are expected to have a genuine passion for Grand Strategy Games and a good understanding of what makes them so appealing to our players.

We will only recruit locally for this position.
