• Suggest UX decisions on how tools and workflows should function.
• Assess technical debt in the systems you touch, and work with leadership on reducing or managing that debt.
• Stay fully versed in the current and long-term design objectives of your design group, and represent those objectives in programming discussions.
• Work closely with art, level design and production teams to ensure that all upcoming modular building kits can be implemented in a timely manner and function well.

What we're looking for
• Unreal editor experience: core understanding of Unreal's object model and how objects are represented and constructed in the editor.
• Blueprint experience
• Level design experience (in a professional setting or on personal projects)
• Communication skills: ability to adapt your messaging to your audiences
• Player empathy
• Collaboration skills

This role is open to multiple locations in North America (including CA & WA).
