About The Position

We’re hiring a Technical Designer who operates at the intersection of creative design and development—someone who doesn’t just design ideas, but builds them into real-time game experiences.

You’ll solve real technical challenges, not just create visuals. You’ll work across multiple projects and teams in a fast-paced environment. You’ll have direct impact on live, player-facing products.
