  • Understanding of gameplay considerations in environment construction (navigation, readability, player flow)
  • Solid knowledge of performance constraints and optimization practices in real-time environments
  • Ability to strongly collaborate across multiple disciplines, while taking ownership of large areas of the world from concepts to shippable quality
  • Ability to implement and design changes based on play testing data from both in and out of house data

Plus If...
  • Experience with World Partition, Data Layers, or similar large-world systems in UE5
  • Familiarity with procedural tools (Houdini, PCG workflows, foliage systems, etc.)
