• Use player data and telemetry to identify problems, validate hypotheses, and improve systems
• Participate in roadmap planning and contribute ideas for game updates and live events tied to NFL milestones
• Iterate on game balance and tuning based on internal testing and player feedback
• Playtest and deconstruct competitive titles, on and off platform, to generate insights and design inspiration

What You Bring to the Team:

• Strong understanding of systems design, progression loops, and live operations
• Proficiency in creating clear, actionable design documents
• Experience using data to inform design decisions
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills across disciplines
• Passion for sports games and competitive play
• Deep interest in UGC games/content like Roblox, Minecraft, or Fortnite

Bonus Points for:

• Prior experience shipping features or whole games on Roblox or other UGC platforms
• Prior experience using Roblox Studio
• Prior experience in free-to-play game development or a background in economy design
