DESCRIPTION

Amazon Games is looking for a Senior Game Designer to join us as we build exciting new mass market games with a multiplayer component. You will help establish an entirely new category for gaming and should be comfortable with a degree of ambiguity that’s higher than most projects. In this role, you'll lead thinking on what kind of great games will be best for all kinds of non-core game players. You'll also be innovating new ways for users to play games, working closely with artists, producers and technical leads to ensure they are hitting the highest quality bar possible. We think big and work with some of the biggest and most beloved global IP licenses. We are customer-obsessed and build our games with a focus on innovation and quality to nurture long-term relationships with our global customers and partners.

The opportunity to delight millions of gamers is massive, but it's also an ambiguous challenge. You will leverage your game design knowledge to create magical experiences for Amazon customers who play games. You'll work with world-class external game developers to build great games while establishing respectful and collaborative relationships. You thrive in an entrepreneurial environment and will collaborate with other stakeholders to resolve ambiguity and balance competing priorities.

* Ability to work on multiple concurrent projects and interface with all levels within the organization with candor and respect
* Be able to take the high strategic view as well as dive deep and execute
* Work directly with marketing and business development partners to evaluate potential games against intended audience and help refine the target audiences
* Remain up to date with products and services across the game industry, and also within Amazon, Twitch, and Amazon Game Studios
* Quickly prototype design ideas and iterate through playtesting and player feedback
* Work with developers to ensure your content and features are delivered at the highest quality
* Work with engineers and artists to refine our workflows and improve our tooling
