Represent the level design team in discussions with project leadership and other disciplines





Coordinate bug fixing and polish efforts related to level design content

Support onboarding and hiring efforts to help maintain team cohesion and effectiveness

Qualifications

Strong collaboration and communication skills, with confidence engaging across disciplines

People leadership experience, including coaching designers with varied experience levels

Clear design judgment and a structured, rational approach to level design decision‑making

Planning and estimation skills that support predictable production outcomes

Ability to provide thoughtful feedback and evaluations that help others grow

Adaptability and openness when guiding designers through new constraints or design approaches
