The ideal applicant will have at least 3 years’ experience working in the games industry, preferably with cross platform experience. Demonstrable experience of game design skills like writing, balancing, economy tweaking, flow charts, diagrams, prototyping, brainstorming is strongly desirable. Academic qualification is a bonus, but not essential if you can demonstrate appropriate experience. Past experience with industry standard engines (Unreal/Unity) is a huge bonus especially if a candidate can demonstrate an ability to do efficient and beautiful level design and quickly prototype concepts and mechanics within these engines with the use of high level tools (Scripting, Kismet, Playmaker etc.)
