You will join a small team building a new creative experience, creating and refining ideas, and then rapidly prototyping and iterating.

You have a background in games - and ideally worked on projects with layered systems for players to explore. You want to work on something different, leveraging design ideas into a new context focused on enabling player creativity..

You will build many proof of concept prototypes - paper prototypes, in-engine experiences, diagrams - whatever is needed, and help lift that work into the larger technical framework. Speaking of that, while you won't be expected to write code, a strong understanding of systems and technical processes is important.

You will own and spearhead game features directly, and work hands-on in cross disciplinary teams while implementing Gameplay Features, together with Animators, Coders and other design disciplines.

Example of responsibilities

• Work with the team to ideate and prototype game mechanics together.
• Balance, tweak and iterate the game-feel to provide an enjoyable core gameplay experience.
• Be an ambassador for gameplay. Sharing ideas and driving player centric designs.
• Document and communicate designs in a digestible format.

We would love if you have

• A creative and curious mind
• Ability to overcome truly unique design challenges in a complex open-ended context
• Experience and enjoy working with new technology and new ideas (even when they don't work out)
• Flexible design mindset that adapts to and furthers the ideas and work of your teammates
• Ability to document and provide vision while mostly being hands-on in software and communication
