We have been developing niche gaming experiences for our players since the company's founding in 2006. Our collaborative team of developers, designers, and storytellers pushes the boundaries of interactive entertainment by creating games that are as fun as they are impactful.

Over 100 million players in our popular life simulation game BitLife experience the thrilling journey from birth to death, making choices that shape their character's destiny. Players simulate a character's entire life, making decisions that range from the mundane to the extraordinary. From choosing schools and careers to navigating relationships and unexpected life events, every choice impacts the character's happiness, health, and success. With its blend of humor, drama, and realism, BitLife offers an unparalleled life simulation experience that has captivated a global audience.

We are looking for a creative, analytical, and systems-driven Game Designer to own and evolve BitLife's core gameplay systems, including economy, progression, and procedural narrative frameworks. The ideal candidate for this role will also have a deep understanding of and appreciation for pop culture, internet humor, and emergent narrative design. You will partner with narrative designers, product managers, and engineers as you develop systems that will take BitLife to the next level.

This role requires working from our office in Miami several days per week.
