Role Overview
A leading interactive entertainment company is seeking Principal Game Designers to solve high-level engagement challenges within a major live-service multiplayer ecosystem. This role focuses on evolving existing engagement structures (such as quests, passes, and progression loops) while also inventing new systems that guide player journeys, deepen mastery, and create long-term motivation.
You will be a design leader who sets vision across cross-disciplinary teams, aligning game systems to player needs and business outcomes. The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in goal-based progression, understands how motivations vary across player types, and can translate insights into scalable systems that drive engagement, satisfaction, and healthy long-term gameplay.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and craft meaningful player goals that build exposure, experience, and mastery of both new and existing mechanics, while reinforcing world immersion
- Lead innovation for engagement features, including systems, progression, and rewards, ensuring alignment with key engagement metrics and broader systemic frameworks
- Communicate a clear, compelling player experience vision across multiple internal teams, enabling alignment and high-quality execution across disciplines
- Partner with product management, marketing, and adjacent teams to support player satisfaction, ecosystem health, and growth initiatives tied to major activations
- Drive a collaborative, iterative live design approach: prototype quickly, ship improvements rapidly, learn from data and feedback, and refine continuously
- Own decisions in fast-changing environments by setting direction, gaining alignment, and carrying the vision through implementation and iteration
Required Qualifications
- 10+ years as a game designer with experience shipping multiple titles
- Strong background designing engagement content or goal-based progression systems for live-service multiplayer games
- Demonstrated ability to empathize with players and deeply understand:
- Player motivations and play styles
- How goal setting influences engagement and behavior
- Tradeoffs across retention, satisfaction, and game health
- Proven ability to react quickly to shifting needs, drive decision-making, and own outcomes
- Strong communication skills with the ability to lead cross-team alignment and execution
Preferred Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field (preferred, not required)
- Strong interest in Battle Royale and modern live-service ecosystems, with a strong understanding of what makes them thrive
- Experience collaborating with product/marketing on activation design, progression tuning, and engagement strategy
- Familiarity with data-informed live tuning (KPIs, telemetry, experimentation), while maintaining strong player-first instincts
Candidate Profile (What Success Looks Like)
You are player-focused, passionate, solutions-driven, and innovative. You can translate vision into practical systems, balance creativity with measurable outcomes, and elevate collaboration across teams to deliver engagement features that players love—and return for.
