Our Motive is to create innovative action games within iconic worlds where every player feels like the hero. Let's say that again—iconic worlds, where every player feels like the hero.

Our passion has taken us from imagining dogfighter pilots in Star Wars™: Squadrons, to re-creating Isaac Clarke onboard the Ishimura in Dead Space™, and now to building an original Iron Man action-adventure video game.

We believe in sharing our passion with our community, and with each other by having transparent discussions, by practicing an inclusive culture, and by nurturing a continuous growth mindset. Our approach feels simple, but it leads to the best work of our careers, and as a team, building unique and immersive experiences.

Motive is looking for a Gameplay Designer to join the Iron Man team to design and implement enemy AI that deliver an exciting and authentic Iron Man combat gameplay experience. You’ll be joining a multi-disciplinary Enemy AI team and work closely with other AI and boss designers.

Responsibilities :

  • Take direction from design leadership and drive the design of your enemy characters and related game systems to create and support engaging combat experiences
  • Oversee, coordinate, and review AI work on your features
  • Work with other designers to ensure the enemies contribute to the combat experience and support the overall game loop
  • Communicate the design to the team through multiple channels, including written design documents
  • Prototype, implement, and maintain features and content using Unreal Engine 5
  • Collaborate across disciplines, including art, animation, programming, and level design, to develop your features and ensure a top-tier player experience
  • Review the game against the design goals and identify issues and opportunities to improve the player experience
  • Receive and incorporate feedback from multiple sources to improve your features

Qualifications :

  • 3+ years of design experience developing video games
  • Design credits on at least one title where you were responsible for major parts of the design of enemy AI, combat systems, or bosses
  • Experience working hands-on with a game engine to implement your designs
