📋 Description

• Partner with the team to conceive, prototype, and ship gameplay and learning interactions that elevate the player's experience. • Evaluate systems and mechanics with a critical eye to uncover opportunities to improve clarity, engagement, and outcomes. • Tackle tough design problems through creative exploration, rapid iteration, and a learner-first mindset. • Join playtests and review sessions, applying qualitative feedback and product data to refine designs. • Communicate openly with engineers, artists, and product partners to stay aligned on goals and vision. • Collaborate with Design Leadership and Subject Matter Experts to bring storyboards to life in Unreal Engine 5 using in-house tools. • Use Sequencer to build fully functional greyboxes, integrating flow and structure for later asset implementation (mo-cap, environments, VFX, SFX). • Partner closely with designers, programmers, and artists to test, refine, and improve tools, workflows, and content pipelines. • Work with in-house and AI-powered localisation tools to streamline and adapt interactive experiences across platforms. • Polish, debug, and optimise levels for PC, VR, and web-based experiences. • Contribute to the UX, pacing, and narrative flow of the overall experience, ensuring design and storytelling remain tightly aligned. • Define, estimate, and track your own tasks using our online project management tools. • Collaborate across departments — a solid understanding of other disciplines (art, animation, programming, sound, etc.) ensures smooth integration and communication.

🎯 Requirements

• Strong expertise in Unreal Engine 5, particularly in crafting, tuning, and iterating on interactive experiences. • Proven experience in game design and/or level design, with an understanding of player experience, flow, and engagement. • A solid grasp of the core principles of interactive design, including pacing, readability, and feedback loops. • Excellent communication and cross-disciplinary collaboration skills — you’ll work with multiple teams daily. • Familiarity with standard production and documentation tools (Jira, Confluence, Microsoft Office Suite). • Organized, reliable, and able to estimate and deliver tasks independently.
