Designing, modeling, monitoring, and balancing complex game economy systems, making sure that the game experience is fun and engaging
Managing the economy and pricing of virtual goods, maintaining a balance between free content and paid currency
Ensuring that every system in the game is tuned and works seamlessly together with the rest
Being the go-to person for questions about a new feature, existing design, or an ongoing in-game event

Clear understanding of free to play games and how their game economies work
Strong sensitivity to gameplay and game design which makes you uniquely skilled in building needs and emotions in the context of a game
Logical thinker with strong attention to detail. Working with numbers and analyzing data is your second nature, and spreadsheet is a go-to in your toolkit
Ability to communicate game concepts in a strong and concise way
In addition to these, it would be nice but not mandatory for you to have these as well:
Programming or scripting skills
