You will spearhead innovation in design for the engagement space, including systems, progression, and rewards, fulfilling key engagement metrics and supporting broad systematic framework needs.

As a key member of our team, you will communicate and represent a vision for the player's experience to multiple teams across the company, as well as supporting teams of all crafts to optimize their engagement. You will collaborate with product management and marketing teams to ensure player satisfaction and overall game health while driving growth across the ecosystem and supporting key activations.

We're looking for someone with 10+ years of experience shipping multiple titles as a game designer, working on engagement content or goal-based progression systems in live-service multiplayer environments.
