Role Description

Bad Robot Games is looking for a Senior Systems Technical Designer with a focus on Progression who is a high capacity individual contributor with a deep love for systems design, meta game loops, and the craft of making players feel rewarded. You'll own progression from concept through ship designing, prototyping, and implementing the systems that keep players engaged, motivated, and coming back. This role sits at the intersection of design and implementation, requiring someone equally comfortable whiteboarding a progression economy as they are building it out in Unreal.

  • Own the design and implementation of player progression systems, including XP, unlocks, rewards, and meta progression loops from concept to shippable state
  • Prototype new progression systems rapidly, iterating based on playtesting feedback and data
  • Implement and integrate systems for design driven scenarios in Unreal Engine
  • Work closely with UI/UX, Art, and Engineering to implement and iterate on game systems, ensuring design intent is preserved through the technical pipeline
  • Collaborate across Design, Engineering, and Art to deliver cohesive, high-quality features
  • Drive gameplay systems through the full production lifecycle, maintaining quality and momentum
  • Proactively identify, track down, and fix issues in existing systems
  • Contribute to establishing progression design best practices and documentation standards for the team
  • Be the voice of progression in the wider game direction discussion

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of game industry experience, with a strong focus on systems or progression design
  • Expertise in Unreal Engine
  • Proven ability to design and ship meta-game loops and progression systems on a multiplayer or live service title
  • Strong understanding of shooter gameplay mechanics and how progression systems support and enhance them
  • Experience with scripting languages and a comfort level working at the boundary of design and engineering
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to articulate design intent clearly across disciplines
  • Passion for meta-game loops, player motivation, and the psychology of progression

Requirements

  • All of our roles require up to 10% air travel. Examples include Studio/Team Offsites, Team/Studio Events, etc.

Benefits

  • Proficiency in C++
  • Our ranges are based on California market rate regardless of work location in the US.
