* Use various in‑house tools, including Subsumption, a visual scripting editor, to create logic for missions, systems, and events.
* Work closely with other departments to improve AI, gameplay, mechanics, and tools that impact our work or ability to work.
What We’re Looking For
* Previous industry experience within AAA titles with ownership of major features or missions.
* Strong understanding of visual scripting or coding fundamentals.
* Ability to work both independently and collaboratively across disciplines.
* A proactive approach to mentoring peers and guiding junior designers.
