Job description
Netflix is one of the world's leading entertainment services, with 283 million paid memberships in over 190 countries enjoying TV series, films and games across a wide variety of genres and languages. Members can play, pause and resume watching as much as they want, anytime, anywhere, and can change their plans at any time.
About Night School Studio: We're a group of developers, artists, and storytellers that make games full of wonder, danger, and humor. Everyone at our studio, whether an industry vet or new voice impacts each game through collaborative feedback, mutual respect, and creative empowerment. If you want to make games leave a meaningful impact on players: we want to hear from you.
We're looking for new teammates who deeply care about the work they do, the stories they tell, and the people they create with. As part of the Netflix team, we strive to hire the best and value integrity, excellence, respect, inclusion, and collaboration.
Design at Night School: Designers and Game Directors invent new ways to play with interactive stories. Our studio's goal is to create world-class narrative games. The building blocks of our games are the storytelling mechanics - design leadership defines what they are, and how they all fit together.
Role Overview:We're looking for a strong leader to help us forge Night School's upcoming design vision, and manage our design team. As Studio Design Director, you will manage, mentor and inspire a team of Designers and Game Directors, drive macro and micro game design vision, and collaborate with world class storytellers, artists, and developers to let audiences interact with narrative in brand new ways.
You will oversee the vision and experiential direction for multiple games from the concept phase, through production, launch, and beyond. The right candidate will bring industry-leading craft expertise and attention to detail to generate the design vision for games that are high quality, emotionally resonant and iconic.
