Design Excellence: Lead and participate in design reviews, fostering a culture of constructive critique, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement within the design discipline.
Evolutionary Design Approach: Adopt AI and automation foundations to drive evolutionary changes in how we construct game features, from dynamic commentary and broadcast packages to next-gen gameplay systems.
Adaptable & Utilitarian Design: Maintain a flexible approach with the ability to expand and adapt to different areas of the product, tackling core game systems, UX flows, presentation features, or game modes as the needs of the franchise evolve.
Cross-Functional Partnership: Collaborate closely with Production, Audio, Art, UI/UX, and Engineering to ensure all features and sequences are flawlessly integrated at a high quality.
Data-Informed Vision: Analyze real-world sports broadcasts, market trends, and player behavior to form a creative vision aligned with business goals.
Your Qualifications Minimum 5 years of experience as a Game Designer working with internal teams on console/AAA game development, including shipping high-quality titles from concept to completion.
Direct experience in personnel management, coaching, and developing design talent.
Demonstrated ability as a highly motivated self-starter who consistently pushes for top-tier quality from pitch to final polish.
Familiarity with adopting AI foundations or automation logic to evolve game features, provide more player value, and improve game development workflows.
Familiarity with data-driven design methodologies, including working with KPIs and product insights to make informed design decisions.
