About Obinex
Obinex is the first fully gamified Centralized Exchange (CEX) platform, where finance meets game mechanics and NFT-powered experiences. We’re building the platform that will redefine how millions of users interact with banking systems. Our goal is launching a private beta in May for whitelisted VCs, Angels and users.
The Role
We’re seeking a visionary Game Systems Designer for a Founding/Advisory role to guide the mathematical and behavioral heart of Obinex. In this high-impact advisory capacity, you will provide the strategic blueprint for our gamification layer. You won't just be adding points and badges, you will be advising on the core loops, economy balancing, and incentive structures that make financial trading feel like a world-class gaming experience.
What will you do?
- Architect Macro & Micro Economies: Design the mathematical models for token sinks, faucets, and reward distribution to ensure the platform economy remains stable.
- Define Progression Systems: Create the logic for user leveling, XP formulas, and achievement tiers that align with trading volume and platform loyalty.
- Model Incentive Structures: Build simulations to predict how gamification mechanics (e.g., quests, leaderboards) affect user behavior and platform liquidity.
- NFT Utility Integration: Define the technical attributes and functional benefits of NFTs within the trading ecosystem (e.g., fee discounts, staking multipliers).
- Collaborate on Compliance: Work with Legal teams to ensure gamified mechanics do not cross into "unregulated gambling" territory, maintaining a high standard of investor protection.
- Draft Technical Specifications: Produce rigorous system documentation (logic flows, math tables) for the engineering team to implement.
What will you bring?
- 5+ years in Systems Design: Proven experience in complex economy balancing (MMORPGs, DeFi protocols, or high-level Fintech loyalty programs).
- Advanced Mathematical Modeling: Proficiency in Excel, Machinations.io, or Python to simulate and stress-test economic loops.
- Deep Web3 Knowledge: Clear understanding of gas fees, smart contract logic, and NFT standards (ERC-721/1155).
- Behavioral Economics Foundation: Strong grasp of loss aversion, reward schedules, and motivation theory applied to financial products.
- Technical Documentation: Ability to write "implementation-ready" specs for Rust/Golang Engineers.
- Risk Management Mindset: Experience identifying and mitigating "system exploits" or unintended economic loopholes.
Nice to have
- Experience in Tokenomics design for launched Web3 projects.
- Background in Data Science or Statistics.
- Previous experience in a regulated Fintech environment.
- Understanding of the psychology of high-frequency traders and retail investors.
What will you get?
- Up to 5% of equity from day one in a global FinTech startup.
- Base salary starting once our fundraising round closes (currently in progress).
- A role with massive ownership: You'll design the roadmap and documentation that define the first gamified CEX.
- Direct exposure to regulatory-grade challenges in fintech + Web3.
- Global, remote-first culture, obsessed with execution and innovation.
