Role Playing Game information

What are role-playing games?

Role-playing games (RPGs) are a genre of games where players assume the roles of characters in a fictional setting. Players collaboratively create stories, make decisions, and often follow rules or guidelines to determine the outcomes of their actions. RPGs can be played in person with pen and paper (like Dungeons & Dragons), with computer or video games, or even online with others. The focus is typically on character development, storytelling, and immersive experiences. These games encourage creativity, teamwork, and strategic thinking.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a role playing game designer, and why are they important?

To thrive as an RPG Designer, you need a solid understanding of game mechanics, storytelling, and world-building, often supported by a background in game design or related fields. Familiarity with game engines (such as Unity or Unreal), scripting languages, and prototyping tools is typically required. Creativity, collaboration, and strong communication skills help designers generate innovative gameplay experiences and work effectively within development teams. These skills are essential for crafting engaging and immersive RPGs that resonate with players and succeed in a competitive market.

What are the most common challenges faced by a role playing game designer during the development process?

One of the most common challenges for RPG Designers is balancing complex gameplay mechanics with an engaging narrative, ensuring that neither overshadows the other. Coordinating with writers, artists, and programmers to create a cohesive world while meeting deadlines can also be demanding. Additionally, designers often need to iterate on player feedback to refine game systems and maintain player engagement throughout long play sessions. Successful RPG Designers thrive in collaborative environments and are adept at problem-solving and adapting to shifting project needs.

Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer, Game Records

Discord

San Francisco, CA

$196K - $220K/yr

Full-time

Posted 18 days ago

Job description

Discord is used by over 200 million people every month for many different reasons, but there's one thing that nearly everyone does on our platform: play video games. Over 90% of our users play games, spending a combined 1.5 billion hours playing thousands of unique titles on Discord each month. Discord plays a uniquely important role in the future of gaming. We are focused on making it easier and more fun for people to talk and hang out before, during, and after playing games.

Game Records are the core of our gaming conversation. It is the fuel that drives the most popular gaming features on Discord, and allows us to unlock new experiences for users and opportunities for game developers. The Game Records team is directly responsible for "source of truth" systems that drive detection and safeguard metadata for hundreds of thousands of games. This puts our team in a position to consult and participate in some of the biggest features, partnerships and game-related launches at Discord. Our engineering culture values collaboration, and this is exactly how this team works. Come and join us!

What You'll Be Doing

  • Engage with developers, game studios and other partners to find opportunities and address challenges towards providing a more rich experience for players while gaming and engaging with online communities.
  • Partner with other internal teams to design, build, and maintain features that help users connect and make friends through gaming on our platform, across desktop and mobile.
  • Expand and safeguard our growing collection of games and game-related metadata, that helps drive nearly every gaming-related feature on our platform.
  • Partner with our Content, Marketing and ML teams to improve ranking and discovery systems, enabling users to find meaningful connections and relevant content.
  • Collaborate with Engineers, Designers, Product Owners, and Data Scientists to build engaging, fun, and trusted experiences, while experimenting and iterating on ideas that enhance user interactions.

What You Should Have

  • You have 5+ years of experience as a fullstack software engineer.
  • You have experience with React/TS, Python or other modern programming languages.
  • You are comfortable switching between different technical stacks and learning new ones.
  • You enjoy collaborating with product, design and other stakeholders. We don't operate in silos, and you'll be working closely with other teams and cross-functional peers. You should be able to express opinions and stay aligned.
  • You take a holistic approach to problem solving. You believe in solving a problem from first principles rather than simply shipping a solution. You learn from your mistakes and work through obstacles with the rest of the team.
  • You have experience leading projects, gathering requirements, supporting partners and mentoring others. You believe in 'lead by example' with regards to ownership, autonomy, quality and impact, and no problem is "not my problem".
  • You have a track-record of shipping incremental + delightful features that improve the overall experience.
  • You are a Discord user and want to make the product better!

Bonus Points

  • Strong passion for gaming
  • Games industry experience (Game Studio / Developer / DevOps)
  • Experience working on developer platform or tooling
  • Experience working on a mobile native stack (iOS / Obj-C / Swift), Android (Java, Kotlin)

The US base salary range for this full-time position is $196,000 to $220,500 + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role and level. Within the range, individual pay is determined by additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Please note that the compensation details listed in US role postings reflect the base salary only, and do not include equity, or benefits.
