You will be working on high-level engagement challenges across the entire Fortnite ecosystem. You will innovate on existing systems such as quests and passes, while imagining new structures to guide the player experience within a constantly evolving platform. Our designers define the vision and lead multidisciplinary development teams to deliver compelling objectives that enrich the player's experience and integrate with larger progression systems.

- Collaborate with product management and marketing teams to ensure player satisfaction and overall health of the game, while promoting growth of the ecosystem and supporting major activations

- Lead a collaborative and iterative design process, rapidly prototyping, applying changes in production, observing results, and iterating on learnings

Requirements:

- Over ten years of game design experience, with participation in the release of several titles and work on engagement or progression systems focused on objectives in multiplayer live-service environments

- Demonstrated talent for understanding player motivations, playstyles, and the impact of objective definition on the player experience

- Strong interest in Battle Royale and the Fortnite ecosystem, along with a deep understanding of what makes them appealing

- Ability to quickly adapt to changing project needs, make informed decisions, and fully assume creative vision

- Passion for players, creativity, proactivity, and solution-oriented approach – qualities that lead to success at Epic and influence everything we do

Benefits:

- We pay 100% of premium benefits associated with social benefits, both for employees and dependents, and offer additional coverage for medical, dental, and vision care, serious illnesses, telemedicine, life insurance, death or mutilation by accident insurance, and long-term disability insurance. We also provide a weekly indemnity (short-term disability) and a retirement savings plan with employer matching contributions.
