About The Position

We are seeking a Technical Designer to bridge the gap between gameplay vision and engineering constraints, specifically in Roblox Studio, to join this growing studio.  The ideal candidate is a lifelong gamer, a fan of a variety of game genres with a particular passion for the art of casual gaming. Most importantly, delighting players is front of mind in the work you do every day.  In this role, you will report to the Chief Product Officer while collaborating closely with engineers and artists on multiple projects simultaneously.  Unbreakable Games is a studio founded by long-time game developers who have worked on many of the world's great games, coming together now to make games in a quick, iterative ecosystem for the millions of Roblox players. This is a fully remote opportunity open to candidates based in Canada, with appropriate Canadian work authorization.

Requirements

  • A shipped-project mindset. You can take a feature from a rough idea to a finished, playable, and polished one.
  • Excited to learn new platforms. You’re motivated to ramp up on or deepen your Roblox expertise, understand its constraints/opportunities, and apply your game development fundamentals to ship great experiences there.
  • Comfort wearing multiple hats (gameplay, UI, level setup, content integration, tuning, polish).
  • Strong fundamentals in engineering and/or technical design. You know how to create maintainable code with modular patterns and have adopted good debugging habits.
  • Ability to iterate on the game and the development process quickly, without creating long-term chaos
  • Interested in leveraging new tools (including AI) to empower human workflows. You proactively explore modern tooling to speed up iteration, improve quality, and remove repetitive work, without compromising craft or player experience.
  • Good judgment about what matters for the player. Pacing, clarity, feel, feedback, and player comprehension.
  • Collaboration skills. You unblock others, share context, and optimize for team efficacy over individual heroics.

  • Experience with systemic, emergent gameplay.
  • Experience shipping your own games or personal projects.
  • Live-ops iteration experience.

Responsibilities

  • Build and iterate on core gameplay features and moment-to-moment interactions.
  • Rapidly prototype ideas, get them playable, test with an audience, and refine based on feedback and player behaviour.
