You’ll collaborate with engineering, art, and production to bring bold ideas to life and maintain a healthy design pipeline from prototype to final tuning.

  • Balance creativity with production realities, ensuring designs are achievable, fun, and performant.
  • Analyze playtest feedback and data to refine gameplay experiences.
  • Collaborate across disciplines to maintain a unified creative vision.
  • Help develop flexible design processes that can scale across internal and external co‑development projects.

  • 5+ years of professional experience in game design (level design, combat design, worldbuilding, narrative design, technical design, or encounter design).
  • Demonstrated contribution to at least one shipped title on PC, console, mobile, or VR / AR.
  • Technical Skills

  • Proficiency with game engines such as Unreal Engine or Unity.
  • Familiarity with scripting languages, visual scripting tools, or proprietary game design tools.
  • Strong understanding of player psychology, game mechanics, pacing, and balance.
  • Collaboration And Communication Skills

  • Ability to work effectively within a cross‑functional team and integrate feedback into iterative design.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills to convey complex design ideas clearly.
  • Passion For Game Design

  • Deep knowledge of game design principles, industry trends, and player expectations.
  • Enthusiasm for problem‑solving and pushing the boundaries of interactive experiences.
  • Preferred Skills

  • Experience working on AAA titles.
  • Knowledge of procedural design, emergent gameplay systems, or AI‑driven gameplay mechanics.
  • Background in narrative design, interactive storytelling, or dialogue systems.
  • Experience with multiplayer, live‑service, or co‑op game design.
