About UserWise

We're building a high-speed, AI-assisted game production team focused on developing and scaling mobile games globally.

This is not a traditional game team. We operate with ownership, clarity, and execution speed — leveraging AI-driven workflows to move faster than most studios.

We work across a global team, building production-ready games and scaling them through LiveOps. Our focus is simple: increase the number of high-quality bets and turn them into scalable products.

Our team is already working across established franchises such as Fruit Ninja and Wordscapes, contributing to both development and growth initiatives.

Why Join

You'll be part of a team building a new way of developing and scaling games — combining strong design thinking with AI-driven production.

If you want to design systems that ship, scale, and perform — we'd like to talk.

Requirements

What You'll Do

You will own the design of gameplay systems end-to-end — from core loops to LiveOps.

  • Design and refine core gameplay loops, systems, and features
  • Own player experience across UX, progression, and retention
  • Own economy design and monetization systems
  • Translate product goals into clear, production-ready designs
  • Work closely with product, engineering, art, and QA to ship features quickly
  • Use AI-assisted tools to iterate on design and content faster
  • Continuously improve gameplay based on data and player behavior

  • Strong executional understanding of UX, game systems, and player retention
  • Experience working on features, progression systems, and LiveOps
  • You can think across the full product, not just one area
  • You are able to effectively deep-dive and deconstruct games to derive learnings and apply them to solve problems
  • You are comfortable working with data and adapting designs based on insights
  • You move fast, take ownership, and don't wait for direction
