  • Practical understanding and experience in the full development cycle of a AAA game, which means that you know what it takes to go from initial concept to full, fun, and functional game experiences.

  • You have thorough experience with combat design, encounter design, NPC encounter, or something similar topic from your previous work on a AAA title.

  • Possess a problem-solving attitude, able to look past immediate technical constraints.

  • Able to respond elegantly to creative changes, at any part of the process, using an analytical and organized approach.
