Job Description

• You will lead the design of game features and systems: • Leveling up the design team through clear direction, consistent feedback, and engaged coaching. • Crafting proposals that articulate how these features and systems align with the game’s design pillars and encourage the desired player behaviors. • Delivering clear, concise, and thorough specifications to cross-functional teams responsible for implementing these systems. • Providing team members with direction on how content should be created, tuned, and live-operated within these systems. • You will become an expert in the genre, target audience, and the game’s mechanics and systems, and share your learnings with the broader product organization to advance our collective knowledge.

Job Requirements

  • Proven experience in free-to-play (F2P), games as a service, and live operations – demonstrating a clear vision of excellence and the ability to establish effective design processes, workflows, and tooling.
  • A comprehensive view of game systems and the implications of design decisions across both the product and player lifecycle.
  • 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

  • We strongly believe we are changing how games studios operate and at the core of what we do is making great games that create a connected community
  • We're not just about making Games Where You Belong. We're also about building communities where our people belong. That's why Fortis is a thriving environment that celebrates diversity, embraces inclusivity, and fosters growth.
  • Build and grow with a seasoned team of accomplished talent who have left an impactful mark in their disciplines, both in and out of gaming.
