  • Build brand new, innovative game systems for missions that can help define core features across the rest of the game. 
  • Leverage the game's existing open-world systems and mechanics to create dynamic and unpredictable mission experiences that adapt to player choices and actions. 
  • Provide feedback to other mission designers to improve the quality of the design and storytelling. 
  • Create documentation to support missions, mission tools, and game features developed for missions. 
  • Ability to implement and design changes based on play testing data from both internal and external sources. 

Core Qualifications

  • High-quality portfolio showcasing previous scripting, encounter or mission design work in games. 
  • Strong understanding of storytelling and narrative design. 

 Plus If... 

  • Experience building game-wide systems or features. 
  • Experience with level design, blockout or world-building. 
  • Experience in UE4 or UE5. 
  • Experience working with co-development partners. 
  • Experience working on an open world title. 

Description  

  • Full time job with benefits  
  • Role is on-site in Santa Monica, CA

The base pay range for this position is $100,000 to $115,000 per year. Actual compensation is based on market location and may vary depending on job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. We also offer a competitive package of benefits including vacation time, sick time, company holidays, parental leave, medical/dental/vision insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, and 401(k) matching to regular full-time employees. Certain roles may also be eligible for bonus and equity.
