    In this role, you will

  • Own the implementation of major systems from start to finish, driving the vision forward in a cohesive way with the rest of the product
  • Be the go-to person for the implementation of complex content that stretches the capabilities of existing systems and that requires heavy artist/designer/programmer interaction
  • Be an advocate for player experience and create compelling user stories
  • Lead by example to set the quality bar for design; Work closely with production to identify, prioritize, assign, and evaluate design work
  • Actively participate in big-picture decisions and ensure the design team focuses on the correct elements to achieve superior results
  • Drive collaborative and iterative prototyping, both paper-based and in-game
  • Attend playtests, provide feedback, and identify practical solutions to problems

    • What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of game design experience with multiple shipped titles
  • Mastery of visual scripting languages, preferably Blueprints
  • A broad, cross-disciplinary skill set is highly valued since we have a lean team
  • Ability to communicate your ideas and collaborate with others
  • Create clear and concise design specs
  • Strong verbal communication of ideas to the team
  • Creating your own functional prototypes
  • Experience with network replication

The ideal candidate will have experience both creating original characters and writing within established guidelines for existing properties. While this is a writing focused role, the writer will be expected to collaborate with Gameplay Designers to create scripts that take advantage of LEGO Fortnite's reactive dialogue system.

    In this role, you will

  • Writing NPC scripts for LEGO Fortnite NPCS
  • Collaborating with LEGO Fortnite Gameplay Designers
  • Working directly with LEGO Fortnite Gameplay Designers to create and maintain compelling characters
  • Providing naming support for cosmetic content as need
  • Attending team meetings and playtests
  • Assisting in LEGO Fortnite cinematic script production
  • Providing writing support across projects if and when required

  • Ability to write in multiple styles and formats including in-game vo scripts and written assets, animated shorts, trailers, video content, and stage demos
  • Collaborative mindset and a willingness to iterate rapidly
