Define and refine reward loops that drive retention, habit formation, engagement beyond core advertiser offers, and sustainable payout costs.

Partner closely with Product, Data, and Engineering teams to translate economy concepts into actionable systems.
Run simulations, A/B tests, and live balancing experiments to validate and improve economy designs.
Monitor live economy KPIs and proactively adjust payout ratios, reward availability, and progression curves.
Document economy logic clearly to ensure alignment and understanding across internal teams.
