    • Deliver content within quality requirements, on schedule, and within technical limitations.

Who you are:

    • An experienced Senior Game Designer who has shipped at least one AAA title in a design role on console or PC (from pre-production to release).
    • Extensive technical capabilities, lots of implementation experience and eager to learn our proprietary engine Glacier.
