- A firm understanding of fundamental design principles, metagame systems, game economies, and player psychology that enables you to design from first principles.
- Ability to articulate the nuances of abstract concepts and how they apply to complex, interrelated systems.
- Ability to synthesize feedback from team members, user playtests, and other validation efforts into actionable product insights and rapidly iterate on designs.
- Natural curiosity and eagerness to learn are valued traits. You are expected to stay abreast of industry trends and apply insights to current and future projects.
Benefits:
