What we're looking for

• You're creative and conceptually strong, with a sharp eye for gameplay and what motivates players.

• You can translate learning goals or change objectives into meaningful game mechanics and compelling player journeys.

• You have a background in game design, industrial design, interaction design, or experience design.

• You have a strong technical mindset and experience with the full development process. From idea generation and concepting to development, testing, and launch.

• You enjoy working in a multidisciplinary team alongside developers, UX/UI-designers, visual designers, and producers.

• You're a true team player with strong communication skills, able to present your ideas clearly to both colleagues and clients.

Who are you?

• You bring 2+ years of relevant experience.

• You work and think at HBO (applied) or university (WO) level.

• You’re interested in behavior change and understand the principles of behavioral change and learning through play.

• You're comfortable with digital design tools and have a technical mindset: you like to build and explore.

• You speak and write both Dutch and English at a good professional level.

What you'll be doing

As a game designer at &ranj, you work both in conceptualization and execution. You’re just as comfortable in a co-creation session with a client as you are deep in design and technical development. You bring together the right people, balance ambition with feasibility, and always keep the user in focus.

On a day-to-day basis:

• You analyse the context around the product

• You turn organizational and user needs into clear, measurable goals and mechanics

• You guard both the quality, creative ambition and didactical quality of each project

• You know when to bring in the right expertise or technology

• You help shape a product where all the moving parts come together seamlessly

We work with a flexible toolkit: Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, Unity, Miro and all MS Products. The outcome matters more than the tools though, so we tend to work with what the product calls for.
