## About the Role

* 8+ years of professional game design experience, including shipped titles where you owned progression, economy, or rules systems in a AAA engine (Frostbite, Unity, Unreal, Godot, or proprietary)
 * Experience with quantitative modeling including probability, statistics, and simulation.
 * Scripting and data skills (Python, SQL) plus engine scripting (Lua, Blueprint, C#) for data-driven systems
 * Working knowledge of gameplay domains (character, controls, UI, physics, animation)
 * Experience using AI coding or agentic tools in a real production or analysis workflow
 * Experience with telemetry and analytics tooling including defining events, building dashboards, and turning data into design decisions
 * Experience getting productive quickly in large, unfamiliar game projects and data pipelines
 * Experience collaborating on product vision and research goals with engineering and leadership
 * Proficiency with design tools (Miro, Figma) for system diagrams and flows
 * Comfort working in CI/CD environments (Jenkins, GitLab): owning data-validation and balance tests.
 * Proficiency with VCS tools (Perforce, Git)

Bonus

 * Live-service economy design, especially on creator or UGC platforms, or creator reward and monetization programs
 * Experience with trust and safety, moderation, or reputation systems
 * Experience designing evals or scoring rubrics for AI/LLM-powered features

## Description

* You will design, model, and maintain scalable, stable, and engaging game systems.
 * You will align systems design with engine architecture, data pipelines, and technical strategy, defining data schemas and config structures together with engineering.
 * You will refine player and creator journeys across sessions and over the player lifetime.
 * You will define telemetry, KPIs, and health metrics for every system you ship and own the analysis of whether those systems are working.
 * You will build and run agent-driven simulations of player personas, economies, and creator behavior to check balance and find failure states before launch.
 * You will design the rules, permissions, and safety constraints for creator-made content and for the agentic tools creators use, so that creation is easier, safer, and more rewarding.
 * You will identify systemic risks and provide clear mitigation plans.
 * You will contribute to engine, content, agentic, and research initiatives, turning research goals into production-ready systems.
 * You will create system diagrams, flow models, and automated balance and data-validation test suites.
