Description

• As a pivotal leader within our design team, you will be instrumental in shaping major systems and features for new game concepts. • You will direct and mentor a team of senior designers, with skip-level management responsibilities for additional mid to junior designers. • Your leadership will extend beyond mere oversight; you’ll be a driving force in their professional development through feedback, coaching, and promoting a culture of continuous improvement. • Your contributions will not only influence your direct reports but also enrich our broader product strategy and portfolio of games as you share insights and learnings across the organization.

Requirements

• A comprehensive view of game systems and the implications of design decisions across both the product and player lifecycle. • A firm understanding of fundamental design principles, metagame systems, game economies, and player psychology that enables you to design from first principles. • Ability to articulate the nuances of abstract concepts and how they apply to complex, interrelated systems. • Ability to synthesize feedback from team members, user play tests, and other validation efforts into actionable product insights and rapidly iterate on designs. • Proven experience in games as a service and live operations – demonstrating a clear vision of excellence and the ability to establish effective design processes, workflows, and tooling. • Strong leadership and management skills, adept at developing design teams through mentorship and remote management. • Demonstrated commitment to team and organizational aspects of design leadership, dedicating 50% of time to these responsibilities. • Natural curiosity and eagerness to learn are valued traits. Leaders are expected to stay abreast of industry trends and apply insights to current and future projects.
