• Multiplayer & Spatial Design: Create clear, engaging spaces that support movement, combat, traversal, and player guidance on a large scale.
• Cross-Discipline Collaboration: Work directly with gameplay programmers and artists to align mechanics, systems, and visual environments.
• Quality & Scope Management: Balance design ambition with technical constraints, identifying risks early and making pragmatic choices.

• Engine & Tool Proficiency: Practical, hands-on experience in Unreal Engine 5 and greyboxing workflows.
• Proven Track Record: Professional level design experience on PC or console games, ideally with at least one shipped title.
• Open World / Multiplayer experience: Strong understanding of spatial composition, player flow, pacing, metrics, and systemic gameplay.
• Proactive & Independent Mindset: Self-driven ability to test assumptions, iterate based on playtests, and execute from the ground up with guidance from the Level Director.
• Strong Portfolio: Clear demonstration of your design process, spatial layouts, and level iteration.
