Technical Designer

We work in both Unity and Unreal Engine and so do you. You’ve had experience with both and consider yourself an expert at one of them. You should have enough experience from the games industry to have grown to understand the common pitfalls and how to avoid falling into them.

You are the person that bridges these disciplines together and allows for more efficient communication. You will be making calls on what design we can and should implement and what design we cut.

You’ll work in a friendly environment with lots of freedom. A big part of a work day is working highly iterative in tight collaboration with other programmers, game designers, and artists.

Responsibilities:

- Guide the team on how to apply your engine knowledge into games
- Identify engine features and tools needed according to design documents and define technical solutions on how those features will be used
- Ensure that the game design, implementation and UX follows contemporary best practices and third party guidelines
- Develop the overall game design
- Implement and iterate on gameplay logic and game feel
- Document your work so as to transfer knowledge and enable users how to use the new systems and functionalities

- Shipped at least one game title and preferably a console title as well
