We value talent, passion, and collaboration, and we are always innovating to raise the bar of game development. What You’ll Do Craft meaningful goals for players that build their exposure, experience, and mastery of new and existing game mechanics, all while immersing them in the world of Fortnite. Spearhead innovation in design for the engagement space, including systems, progression, and rewards, fulfilling key engagement metrics and supporting broad systematic framework needs. Communicate and represent a vision for the player’s experience to multiple teams across the company, as well as supporting teams of all crafts to optimise their engagement. Collaborate with product management and marketing teams to ensure player satisfaction and overall game health while driving growth across the ecosystem and supporting key activations. Drive collaborative and iterative live design to prototype quickly, make changes live soon after, learn from them, and iterate. What We’re Looking For 10+ years of experience shipping multiple titles as a game designer, working on engagement content or goal‑based progression systems in live‑service multiplayer environments. Demonstrated talent for empathising with players and a deep understanding of player motivations, forms of play, and the effects of goal setting on play. Strong interest in BR and the Fortnite ecosystem with an understanding of what makes them work. Able to react quickly to changing project needs and drive decisions, then own that vision. Player‑focused, passionate, solutions‑focused, and innovative. These traits equal success at Epic and influence everything we do. Benefits We pay 100% for benefits for both employees and dependents, including medical, dental, vision, critical illness, telemedicine, life and accidental death and dismemberment, long‑term disability, short‑term disability, and a retirement savings plan with a competitive employer match. We also offer a robust mental well‑being program through Modern Health, which provides free therapy and coaching for employees and dependents.
