The puzzle is the instrument.

Place a piece, play a note. Clear a line, play a phrase. Solve the board, and you've played the song. At Ludaxis we build music-driven puzzle games where playing the puzzle is what makes the music — and we're looking for a designer to own the heart of them.

What you’ll own

The core game — loops, progression, economy: the systems that decide whether players stay in flow or quietly drop off. You'll turn “music + puzzle as one system” from a sentence into something millions of people feel. You'll prototype fast, read the retention curve like sheet music, and make the hard call every time: ship it, tune it, or kill it. Ideas earn their place on the data, not in a deck.

You

• Have shipped multiple titles and owned core design — systems and mechanics — on at least one
• Build and re-tune levels, difficulty curves, and progression until the climb feels right
• Read the retention curve and player feedback alike, and turn both into clear design calls
• Prototype fast and hands-on in Unity or Unreal — playable in days, not weeks — and aren’t precious about killing your own ideas
• Ship features end to end with engineers, artists, and audio, from concept to release
• Know mobile and/or console cold: their constraints, inputs, and what players expect
• Have torn apart more game systems than you can count, just to see how they tick
• Use AI to code and build — it's already part of how you work, on every new problem
• Frame trade-offs in a sentence, document the rationale, and raise the people around you
• Are at home with ambiguity, autonomy, and a small team that moves

Why Ludaxis

A founder who's spent 10+ years shipping F2P hits. The backing of Amanotes. Real ownership of a real game from day one. And a studio quietly obsessed with craft — flow, near-miss pacing, designed difficulty, the details that separate good from great.
