How you’ll make an impact
Supersocial is seeking a highly motivated and creative Game Designer to join our growing team. You will have the unique opportunity to use your game design experience to help shape the future of Supersocial experiences on Roblox and beyond.
In this role you will partner with the Principal designer to embrace creative challenges and generate innovative ideas that speak to different audiences and a wide range of partners. You will take the ideas and translate them into game design documentation, and work with project leads to turn the documentation into actionable plans.
You will play a key role on multiple cross-functional teams to shepherd the design through multiple phases while iterating on features that don’t work, and balancing those that do. You will relentlessly champion the player and view each design decision through the lens of player surprise and delight. You will strive for success in everything you do, but will not be afraid of failure and will apply lessons learned to future projects.
You understand that the primary role of game design is to encourage teams to chase the best ideas, and will facilitate conversations to do just that. You believe that egos and selfishness are the antithesis to healthy, high-functioning creative game teams.…and believe that teams that have fun make fun games!
