● Have strong game design sensibilities and the ability to translate general, high level direction into rapid, functional prototypes or scalable, maintainable systems and mechanics as is required for the appropriate stage of development
● Partner closely with design, art, production, engineering teams to identify focus areas and provide effective solutions for the appropriate phase of development
● Relentlessly and effectively prioritize game tasks, including championing for and even wearing different hats if needed to unblock the development of the project and team
● Iterate on and enforce processes, pipelines, and best practices for game development
● Perform code and architecture reviews
● Identify opportunities to incorporate new technologies and techniques to maximize workflow efficiencies and to provide effective, maintainable, and secure games and related applications
Qualifications:
