What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Remote Game User Researcher, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Remote Game User Researcher, you need a solid background in user research, data analysis, and a good understanding of game design principles, often supported by a degree in psychology, human-computer interaction, or a related field. Familiarity with research tools such as survey platforms, usability testing software, and analytics systems like UserTesting, Lookback, or PlaytestCloud is typically required. Excellent communication, critical thinking, and the ability to synthesize player feedback make someone stand out in this role. These skills are crucial to accurately gather, interpret, and present player insights that drive game improvements and user satisfaction.

What is remote game user research?

Remote game user research is the process of studying how players interact with video games by collecting feedback and data from participants who play games from their own locations, rather than in a traditional lab setting. Researchers use online tools to observe gameplay, conduct interviews, and analyze user experiences to help developers improve game design, usability, and overall player satisfaction. This approach allows for a diverse range of participants and can be more flexible and cost-effective than in-person research.

What are some common challenges faced by Remote Game User Researchers, and how can they be addressed?

Remote Game User Researchers often encounter challenges such as coordinating playtests across different time zones, ensuring reliable data collection from diverse participants, and maintaining engagement during virtual sessions. To address these issues, researchers typically use flexible scheduling tools, secure digital platforms for data collection, and clear communication strategies to keep participants motivated. Building strong collaboration with design and development teams through regular virtual meetings also helps translate research findings into actionable improvements for the game.

Job description

Join Our Founding Team: Design How AI Video Games are Created and Played!

We're an ambitious new game studio on a mission to revolutionize how games are made by creating an AI Game Generator that transforms players' lives into playable, personalized adventures. We envision a game within a game, where the user enjoys building the game as much as they enjoy playing it. As our lead UI/UX Video Game Designer, you will craft the end-to-end experience that makes game creation immersive, intuitive, and fun. You will design how players work with the AI to guide the game's style and refine its components, all while giving players the freedom to unleash their creativity.

You can learn more about DreamForge and join our waitlist at https://www.playdreamforge.com

What You'll Do:

  • Design and iterate the end-to-end UI/UX flow for AI-assisted game creation
  • Determine how players will interact with Forge, the character that helps them build their Dreams
  • Create a playful and engaging game-within-a-game experience, ensuring the creation process is as enjoyable as the game itself
  • Balance structure and freedom: guide users effectively through prompts so they don't feel stuck, without limiting their creative potential
  • Develop user flows and high-fidelity prototypes that can be implemented in Unity
  • Collaborate with engineers, AI specialists, and game designers to bring the experience to life
  • Conduct usability testing, synthesize feedback, and refine designs to optimize the player experience


What We're Looking For:

  • Strong portfolio demonstrating UI/UX work in video games
  • Practical experience collaborating with teams developing within Unity
  • Experience with both mobile and PC game design
  • Understanding of player psychology, engagement loops, and what makes design feel game-like
  • Excellent English communication skills and ability to articulate design choices clearly
  • Comfortable working in a remote, global team environment, both independently and collaboratively
  • Experience designing conversational or AI-driven interfaces is a plus


Benefits:

  • Equity ownership. Share in the upside of what we are building together
  • Competitive salary and a full-time position
  • Flexible location and fully-remote work environment
  • The opportunity to join a very early stage company and leave your mark on something truly unique
