At Ripple Effect, we are a studio where you can do the best work of your career. Above all, we're driven by quality - in the games we create, and in the studio we've built.
Our values: We believe every day our work should be better than it was the day before. We iterate, innovate, and support our devs as they grow in their crafts and push one another toward mastery. We believe in operating with integrity, and creating a diverse team where everyone's ideas are heard.
With studios located in Los Angeles and Vancouver, Ripple Effect has been dedicated to the Battlefield franchise since our founding as DICE LA in 2013. We created Battlefield 2042's Portal, and have supported DICE on every Battlefield game since Battlefield 4.
Now, we're looking for new team members to help us craft the next Battlefield.
We are looking for an experienced Director of Product Development, passionate about both process and gaming, with in-depth knowledge of game development, acquired by having led and managed the delivery of AAA game franchises in the FPS genre, including Live and Community management. This includes an understanding of the Game Development Framework to inspire and motivate the team, providing assurance during challenging periods.
You will report to the Studio Production Director for the studio, and create credible plans for game development, with an emphasis on what good is, while understanding the iterative nature of creative processes, and how to foster change. You will be accountable for efficient development of projects to meet delivery of budget, time and quality with healthy teams.
You have many conflict resolution tools in your tool belt. You are comfortable talking across all levels of an organization, you always know the status of your project, and you can visualize that status for any audience. You know how to build healthy, high functioning relationships with partners both within and external to the studio. You are a force multiplier for the team.
We are considering on-site and hybrid working options.
