As a Senior Technical Designer, you will play a vital role in the development of an unannounced AAA project. You will serve as a tech design generalist supporting the gameplay team, coordinating across disciplines, driving features forward where gaps exist, and ensuring that the gameplay features the team builds can be fully experienced in-game.

What you'll do:
• Operate hands-on with our in-house Apex Engine and its visual scripting editor

• Implement features & content based on designs

• Scripting events, experiences, and systems in open-worlds

• Draft technical design proposals to deliver on game direction

• Coordinate between system code & gameplay design

• Support gameplay design in feature creation & tuning

• Champions technical efficiency in content & feature design

Who you are:
• You understand what it means to ship a game, having shipped at least 3 titles, or a minimum of 1 AAA title.

• You can ramp up on new engines and tools quickly, leveraging your experience working across multiple tool sets rather than deep specialization in a single engine or tool.

• You are a generalist at heart. Collaborative, eager to enable others, and comfortable bridging disciplines and coordinating across diverse teams to fill gaps wherever needed.

• You are proficient with game engine editors and scripting languages.

• You are capable of excelling in challenging situations while staying focused on project goals.
