Responsibilities

• Define and evolve the game’s creative direction—tone, vibe, world, characters, and the “why it’s fun” core.
• Drive rapid prototyping: take small ideas to playable tests fast, iterate even faster, and kill what isn’t working.
• Drive level design direction, ensuring maps, spaces, and encounters naturally create memorable, viral moments players love talking about.
• Champion social/party‑game mechanics, “drop‑in/instant fun” loops, and systems that help players make their own moments.
• Ensure every feature and level supports the “easy to play, fun immediately, impossible not to share” ethos.
• Work closely with design, art, engineering, and marketing to push social features, shareability, and fan-favorite ideas forward.
• Tune direction constantly based on real player feedback, playtests, data, and community sentiment.
• Collaborate hands‑on with designers and artists—testing ideas daily, jamming on mechanics, and pushing toward clarity.

Requirements

• Hands‑on experience taking a game from concept to launch
• Strong level design background—able to guide, evaluate, and evolve levels that drive social fun, surprise, and replayability
• A portfolio that shows strong creative direction in multiplayer, social, or systemic games (party games, social sandboxes, light‑chaos co‑op, etc.)
• Deep intuition for what makes a moment shareable, clippable, or viral
• Experience moving fast with small cross‑functional teams
• Strong creative taste paired with the humility to pivot quickly based on playtest results
• Clear communicator who can rally a team around a simple, focused vision
• Comfort with live‑ops iteration cycles and player‑driven decision‑making
