In this role, you will
  • Be the go-to person for teammates to rely upon as a subject matter expert and owner for progression, matchmaking, and related features.

What we're looking for
  • 5+ years of experience designing game systems with an emphasis on progression
  • 2+ years of experience shipping updates and new features to players on a regular cadence or similar experiences that have transferable years of experience
  • A broad, cross-disciplinary skill set - someone who can consider the many facets and components of a system and wear the hats necessary to adjust them
  • A genuine passion for the nuts and bolts of a well-oiled system - spreadsheets, making calculations, and running data simulations
  • Demonstrated talent for empathizing with players and a deep understanding of player motivations, forms of play, and the effects of goal setting on play
  • Strong interest in ranked and competitive play in BR and other multiplayer games, with a deep understanding of what makes them effective
  • Solution-oriented problem solver who can react quickly to changing project needs and drive to decisions
