Live Ops Designer, Brawl Stars
This is your opportunity to work with an eclectic group of veteran game makers, on one of the greatest action games on mobile.
In this role, you will incept, deliberate and tinker on innovative live ops events that must surprise and entertain our players. Simultaneously, you will always re-evaluate and find ways to optimize our events framework, so it can be a platform to provide entertainment to our most dedicated players AND our new and returning players.
