• Collaborate with game designers to determine the best controls and inputs to support game features for a fluid and consistent player experience.

• Personal Proficiency:Proven ability to manage time, self-organize, and meet deadlines with a positive and collaborative attitude and a strong desire to learn and grow
• Bonuses:Knowledge of current gaming trends, MMO design experience, Scaleform/Flash and experience with both controller- and mouse-based UX.
• End result: Must be able to use all the above skills and experience to level up our feature design team in order to build intuitive and creative systems with longevity

Culture

• Innovative Ownership: Be an owner, build owners
  We know that to succeed means to fail but fail wisely and come back better. Don’t do something just because it’s always been done that way. Be open to learning from all sources and be willing to teach all. Work smart and pursue your craft with passion.
• Empathy: Walk in their shoes
  We take the time to see from the perspectives of our team members and our players. We care deeply, behave positively, and communicate candidly. Emotional intelligence allows our team to act with respect and appreciate each another (and ourselves).
• Collaboration: See the best idea, not have the best idea
  We are better together than by ourselves, so we know that a great idea can come from anywhere. We are committed to hiring the best-fitting team members who amplify our craftsmanship and inspire us all to grow.
• Honesty/Humility: Integrity matters
  We have the self-reflection to hold ourselves accountable and support those who also hold themselves accountable. Be transparent to build trust and a team that is empowered to be bold and authentic. We trust our team members and their feedback.
