WE MAKE FUN...FUNNER.

We are Full Circle, and we're all about having fun and making great games that people want to play with their friends. As the developers of Skate™, we are set to deliver an experience that embraces and builds upon everything our community found special about the previous games. We believe in creating an inclusive world inside and outside of our games for our players and our team. As a geo-diverse studio, our team members around the globe can either work from home, in the office or a hybrid of both.

• Embrace and advocate for the social needs and expectations of diverse audiences
• Explore ways of promoting positive social engagement and experiences within the game
• Determine a clear, forward-looking vision for the game's social features and requirements for moderation
• Design and guide the implementation of a cohesive and compelling suite of social features
• Ensure integration of social features with the broader game vision and feature set
• Work with partner groups to refine and expand features based on player telemetry and feedback

Qualifications
Please note that you do not need to qualify for all requirements to be considered. We encourage you to apply if you can meet most of the requirements and are comfortable opening a dialog to be considered.
• A college diploma in Game Design, Project Management, or equivalent (undergraduate degree an asset)
• At least 5 years of experience in social game design or related experience
• In-depth experience with game engines, productivity software and familiarity with project management software (e.g. Jira)
