About the role

We are looking to hire our Lead Game Designer (Unreal Engine 5) to join our humble start-up team. We have an ambitious yet realistic project ahead of us, and this is a critical role for us to bring our vision of interoperable gaming to life.

And we need a Lead Game Designer who is innovative, solutions focused and has a keen interest in solving unique challenges that come with interoperable characters, accessories, and other content.

• Experience working on shipped games from start to finish
• Design experience with Player Expression, Cosmetic rewards, and Matchmaking
• Interest in being a hands-on owner of our Walker World gameplay and game design
• A player-first mentality with appreciation to the user experience and “finding the fun”
• Designing around compelling gameplay loops, user retention and game economy
• The ability to advise on methodologies, risks, scope and project needs for game design
• Experience writing and maintaining Game Design Documents
• Experience growing and empowering teams by leading with example
• Strong English communication skills with a proactive and collaborative team attitude

At Walker Labs, we put value in our team. We offer very competitive salaries, encourage collaboration and entrust our employees with creative agency and ownership.
