• Level up the design team through clear direction, consistent feedback, and engaged coaching.
• Craft proposals that articulate how features and systems align with the game’s design pillars and encourage desired player behaviors.
• Deliver clear, concise, and thorough specifications to cross-functional teams responsible for implementing these systems.

• Proven experience in free-to-play (F2P), games as a service, and live operations.
• A comprehensive view of game systems and the implications of design decisions across both the product and player lifecycle.
• A firm understanding of fundamental design principles, metagame systems, game economies, and player psychology that enables you to design from first principles.
• Ability to articulate the nuances of abstract concepts and how they apply to complex, interrelated systems.
• Ability to synthesize feedback from team members, user playtests, and other validation efforts into actionable product insights and rapidly iterate on designs.
• Natural curiosity and eagerness to learn. You are expected to stay abreast of industry trends and apply insights to current and future projects.
