At Scopely, we care deeply about what we do and want to inspire play, every day – whether in our work environments alongside talented colleagues or through our deep connections with our communities of players. We are a global team of game lovers who are developing, publishing, and innovating in the mobile games industry, connecting millions of players around the world daily.

Star Trek Fleet Command is a standout success in the gaming industry. Launched in 2018, our in-house developed 4X MMO has continually evolved, earning its place as one of the top-grossing games on the market. Our next chapter is bold: we're evolving the traditional 4X experience in STFC — and we need smart systems to power that next step.

What You Will Do

As an Associate Game Designer on STFC, you'll be a key contributor in building fresh, exciting experiences for our players as part of our content teams, working closely with other designers, artists, and engineers.

• Contribute to the design and development of our content stream by crafting valuable, engaging and exciting loops.
• Build and refine novel gameplay experiences focused on resource generation, spending, time gating, and power growth
• Leverage the deep Star Trek IP to create unique content and experiences that tap into the rich lore and characters of each movie or TV show within the franchise.
• Use tools (Excel, Google Sheets) to model content and event progression pacing
• Collaborate with experienced, driven and passionate Designers, Product Managers, Analysts, and Engineers to implement features which aim to advance the genre
• Iterate and evolve your content based on feedback from senior designers and insights from live data

What We're Looking For

• A passion and energy for crafting compelling experiences and content for players
• 1+ years of game design experience in a studio environment, working on content or gameplay with systemic or economic depth
• Experience in delivering content that balances player fun, engagement, and monetisation
• Comfort with KPI targets and using data to inform balance or tuning adjustments
• Confident in spreadsheets and balancing power curves, pacing, or resource flow
• Experience working cross-functionally and navigating production environments
• A positive, thoughtful, and collaborative approach to game development
• Growth mindset with goals to grow and evolve as a designer

• Familiarity with SQL, scripting, or simulation tools
• Exposure to live ops systems, event design, or server lifecycle planning
• Love for Star Trek, sci-fi, or highly strategic social games
• Experience with large scale or legacy titles and F2P economies
