Our team includes world-class talents who bring deep expertise in external development, pipeline optimization, and creative problem-solving.
This role is hands-on and engine-facing, with a strong focus on Unreal Engine implementation through Blueprints, Sequencer, and closely coordinated cross-discipline collaboration.
Playtest and iterate on pacing, clarity, challenge, and usability based on team feedback, player behavior, and quality goals.

Design, script, and implement quests, missions, and gameplay events from concept through final polish, including objectives, triggers, fail states, rewards, and branching conditions.
Use Unreal Engine 5 to build and iterate directly in-engine, with strong hands-on use of Blueprints for gameplay scripting, mission logic, and event flow.
Support scripted sequences, cinematic beats, AI encounters, and interactive mission moments using Blueprints and, where needed, Sequencer.
Build and maintain mission flow documentation, scripting briefs, and implementation notes that clearly define objective structure, event conditions, dependencies, and expected outcomes.
Collaborate with narrative, systems, engineering, art, QA, and production to ensure missions are functional, readable, and aligned with broader gameplay goals.
Support the creation and upkeep of recurring mission content, rotating objectives, and other player-facing live content structures where applicable.
Maintain clean, readable, and maintainable Blueprint logic that supports long-term updates and collaboration across the team.
Work with light scripting in C++ when needed, particularly in support of implementation hooks and collaboration with engineering teams.
3+ years of professional experience in level design, quest design, or mission scripting.
Ability to support or work with light scripting in C++ alongside engineering when implementation requires it.

Proficiency in Unreal Engine 5, with hands-on implementation experience building gameplay content directly in-engine.
Strong understanding of player flow, narrative pacing, gameplay readability, and objective-driven content design.

Experience with Unreal Engine Sequencer for scripted or cinematic gameplay moments.
Experience supporting live games, recurring mission content, or post-launch content updates.
Experience in action, RPG, open-world, or mission-driven live games.
