Soldiers, scientists, adventurers, oddities…producers? The Overwatch team is looking for a new hero to team up as a Senior Game Producer!

Members of the Overwatch team are passionate gamers at heart - driven to make the most fun and compelling experiences for our players.

Our goal is to always surprise and delight our players. We believe in maximum visibility and communication at the team level and with the people who play our game. This philosophy, along with the Blizzard values of “Gameplay First” and “Play Nice, Play Fair,” has made Overwatch one of Blizzard's most successful games, and it has forged a bond of trust with our worldwide player community that is extremely important to us.
