  • Evaluate existing systems and investments, identifying where to consolidate, improve, or iterate without unnecessary rework
  • Partner closely with engineering to understand performance constraints and design within real technical limits
  • Establish clear gameplay standards for interactivity, physicality, player freedom, and efficiency
  • Collaborate with art leadership to define visual language and readability for functional areas (e.g., mining, storage, smelting, manufacturing)
  • Mentor and coordinate with other designers contributing to supporting systems
  • Communicate design intent clearly through documentation, diagrams, and reviews

Requirements

  • 8+ years of professional game design experience, with at least two shipped titles featuring complex systems
  • Proven ownership of large, interconnected gameplay systems (e.g., automation, crafting, factory/logistics, economy, or simulation-heavy systems)
  • Strong experience designing systems that scale visually and mechanically over long play sessions
  • Demonstrated ability to balance player agency with systemic clarity and performance constraints
  • Experience working closely with engineers on performance-sensitive systems
  • Excellent communication and cross-disciplinary collaboration skills
  • Unreal Engine experience: Proficiency with Unreal Engine, preferably UE4 or UE5

Nice to have

  • Familiarity with factory-style gameplay (e.g., logistics chains, production pipelines, automation optimization)
  • Experience leading or stabilizing systems on live or long-running projects
  • Background in large open-world or planetary-scale games
  • Experience mentoring mid-level designers
