You tweak and tune until it finally happens: a smooth and engaging player experience emerges.
What you’ll do
- Design the 3C features aligned with the creative and game directions.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate your assigned features.
- Develop in-engine prototypes and evaluate their performance.
- Adapt to technical and production constraints, reworking your design when and as often as needed.
- Participate in finding solutions to fix buggy features.
- Create and maintain design documentation that will guide interdependent t

- At least 7 years of experience in video game production or related experience

- An innovative, empathetic, and collaborative spirit
- Exceptional communication, interpersonal, and presentation skills (you’re able to clearly explain your thought process on paper and in person)
- Critical thinking, curiosity, resourcefulness, and plenty of flexibility
- A solid understanding of the market and a passion for video games – you play enough to know what makes quality gameplay!
What to send our way
- Your CV highlighting your education, experience, and skills
- Samples of your work (attach files or send us a link to your demo reel or online portfolio)
