  • 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 teams. 
  • Follow up on features post-launch to improve, add, or remove components. 

Qualifications

  • A college diploma in Game Design or equivalent (undergraduate degree an asset)   
  • At least 3-5 years of experience in video game production or related experience   
  • Experience with game engines (e.g., Unity or Unreal) and productivity software (word processors, spreadsheets, etc.) 
  • An innovative, empathetic, and collaborative spirit   
  • Exceptional communication, interpersonal, and presentation skills (you can 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! 
  • Genuine love for Games and the Craft of making them. 

Additional Information

  • International collaboration game projects & AAA IP’s.
  • Access to cutting-edge hardware.
  • Experience using hottest internally developed game engines.
