• Proficient in Unreal Engine Blueprints: able to build, test, and iterate gameplay mechanics, mission flows, and content logic without constant engineering support.
• Technical Fluency: comfortable with rapid prototyping using Blueprints, creating interactive objects, event triggers, quest structures, and progression gates; able to decide when to use Blueprints vs. code and to work with engineers to optimize functionality.
• Strong Communicator: articulates design decisions, receives and gives feedback, and aligns cross-functional stakeholders.
• Self-Starter: thrives in early stages of game development with the freedom to build something new from scratch.

Nice To Have
