Why Join the ArenaNet Design Team?
The Design team at ArenaNet are the ones responsible for envisioning and implementing the encounters, events, items, rewards, etc. that our players interact with in the game.

Our work requires empathy, patience, communication, the ability to understand a variety of players and playstyles, and attention to detail.

As a designer, you will utilize your love of games along with your innovation and creative problem-solving skills to define and craft experiences and features that affect our players over the lifetime of their relationship with the products that we (and you) develop.
