Sr Game Designer - Creative Play

As a Senior Game Designer on Embark's Creative Play team, you will work with the team building systems that enable and encourage creative play for our users. You may specialise in a certain discipline or skill - but you have a broad interest in design and creativity..

You will collaborate closely with the Creative Director and other designers of the project, in refining concepts and ideas into tangible designs, prototypes and features, as well as Production leadership helping in articulating and establishing estimates, project scope and timelines.

You have ideally worked on several different game styles in varied contexts, and are interested in overarching challenges and possibilities of game creation. You want to build things, but what excites you is providing the tools that enable others to create. You will be entering the project in early production meaning many things are yet to discover. You are comfortable with early stage tools and technologies - able to give constructive feedback on improvements while finding ways of unblocking yourself and the team around you when things are not working.

We are a hybrid-remote team based in our lovely office in central Stockholm, and value designers who take initiative, communicate and collaborate across the project.

Example of responsibilities 

• Design a core system: brainstorm with teammates, collect ideas and make them coherent, present to rest of team
• Find ways to improve existing systems based on user feedback and based on changes brought by new features
• Exploring other relevant products and distilling learnings and ideas for us to consider
• Constantly using the software - understanding what we have, feedback on highest value improvements
  

We would love if you have

• A creative and curious mind and have worked on early stage concepts or experiments
• Experience working with editors, mods or user generated content
• Experience working on products with shared communities and features heavily focused on user behavior
• 10+ years of experience within Game Design, focused on systems design and content design

At Embark we offer competitive salaries, passionate colleagues to share knowledge with and much more, but most of all we invite you to take part of a journey into the unknown, to build creative, surprising and beautiful experiences together.
