Senior Economy Designer

Homa is a global mobile game developer and publisher creating games people love. We partner with studios and internally develop games, having launched over 80 titles, reached over 2 billion downloads, and seen our game All in Hole break into the global top-50 grossing charts. These are milestones, not the finish line.

With deep expertise in product and technology, we built Homa Lab, our proprietary platform that gives developers the market intelligence, data tools, and game tech, with AI built-in, to find product–market fit fast and scale mass-market games into lasting experiences players enjoy for years.

This is our flywheel: Homa Lab helps studios spot the right ideas early, turn them into games quickly, and reach millions of players. Every launch brings back data and insights that fuel the next hit, making each turn of the loop faster, smarter, and more likely to win. AI supercharges this process, running through everything we do, from everyday tasks to our guiding principles.

What powers the loop is talent density. 220+ people from 30+ nationalities, bringing expertise from the world’s best studios and companies. We uphold ambition, curiosity, humility, and focus, and deliver with speed, excellence, and candor.

Since the start, we’ve raised $165M from Headline, Northzone, Eurazeo, Bpifrance, and the founders of King, Sorare, and Spotify, people who’ve built and backed the games and platforms we admire, now supporting our drive to create the next ones.

At Homa, we are building the next billion-player experiences from the ground up and shaping the future of entertainment.

Mission

As a Lead Economy Designer (Hybrid RPG), you’ll play a key role in shaping the commercial destiny of our RPG portfolio. You won’t be supporting someone else’s economy, you’ll own it. Across multiple live titles, you’ll be the person who decides how players earn, spend, and engage, and your decisions will be the difference between a game that stagnates and one that scales into global top rankings. Your main responsibilities will include:

• Design scalable RPG economy systems: build a core economic model that becomes a replicable strategic asset across titles, not a one-off rebuild per game
• Own the economic impact of every product feature: assess KPI implications before launch, produce risk-adjusted roadmaps, and ensure the team always knows what’s at stake
• Define pricing, sink/source balancing, and offer targeting strategies: create the full monetization architecture that drives IAP conversion and long-term player engagement
• Build economy simulations and data models: own all quantitative economy work end-to-end, from raw data analysis to live balancing decisions
• Partner directly with studios and publishing teams: translate complex economy frameworks into clear, actionable guidance that small teams can implement without friction

This is a great opportunity to own the economy across multiple live titles simultaneously, a rare scope in this industry, make your impact measurable in revenue and player KPIs, and operate at the intersection of product, game design, and data in a team that moves fast and plays to win.

Requirements

We are looking for someone with years of experience in free-to-play RPG economy design, and the humility, curiosity, ambition, and drive to make an impact fast. You’re a great fit if you have:

• Direct RPG - F2P economy ownership: you’ve designed and driven the core economy of a free-to-play RPG title end-to-end, not just contributed to sub-loops
• Strong data analysis skills: SQL is a must; you read game data fluently and translate it into clear economic decisions
• Hands-on execution mindset: you go into the details, you implement, and you iterate; you don’t hand over a framework and walk away
• Structured thinking and clear documentation: your work is organized, your outputs are legible, and studios can act on what you produce
• Strong communication skills: written and verbal; you can align distributed studio teams remotely without losing clarity or momentum

Bonus points if you have:

• Python or R experience for economic modeling and simulation
• Basic Unity knowledge for direct studio collaboration
• Experience on titles with significant IAP in the top 200 grossing RPG charts
• An AI-native workflow: you actively use AI to build models, speed up analysis, and multiply your output

Even if you don’t check every box in our requirements, we encourage you to apply. We value diverse perspectives and backgrounds, and we’re more interested in your potential and passion than a perfect match to our checklist.

Our Culture

At Homa, we prioritize talent, energy, and determination over traditional credentials. We’re building a global community of brilliant, driven people who think boldly, act with pragmatism, move fast, and push boundaries. We believe true innovation comes from diverse perspectives, deep collaboration, and curiosity without limits. Our culture is grounded in four core values:

• Humility: We recognise that we are always learning, we can always improve and grow - we stay grounded in a clear view of ourselves.
• Curiosity: We continuously seek the “why” behind the “what” - we explore with purpose and practicality.
• Focus: Our curiosity takes us deeper, not wider - we obsess over the details and let pragmatism guide our attention.
• Ambition: We strive for the best - we don’t settle for “good enough,” - we use common sense to reach higher.

Benefits

Building great games starts with building a great place to work. Here’s what you can expect:

• 🏥 Comprehensive Benefits: Depending on your location, you’ll enjoy a range of perks such as insurance, meal vouchers, public transport, gym memberships, and more.
• 🏢 Paris HQ Access: Enjoy a desk at our private office in a well-located WeWork building that will give you access to WeWork perks like rooftop view and designed coworking spaces.

• 🌐 Global Team: Collaborate in English with top-tier talent from 35+ countries, spanning Europe, the UK, the US, and more. Diversity fuels our creativity and innovation.
• ✈️ Team Gatherings: We value time together beyond the screen. Join us for occasional team gatherings, off-site retreats (Workations as we name them) to connect, recharge, and celebrate.
• 📈 Performance Reviews: We’re committed to your growth. Every six months, we reflect on your progress, recognize your achievements, and align on clear development goals.
