Our Motive is to develop innovative action games set in 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™. Currently, we're working on two exciting projects, an original Iron Man™ action-adventure game and what's coming next for Battlefield™.

We believe in sharing our passion with our community and each other, fostering an inclusive culture, and nurturing a growth mindset. Although our approach may seem simple, it leads us to create the best work of our careers, bringing unique and immersive experiences to our players.


We are looking for a Senior Systems Design Director like you to join us in our mission to create amazing games and experiences, and to enhance ourselves and our craft. You will report to our Design Line Manager.

You will drive the long-term vision for engagement-related features by leading a cross-location team of designers in a multi-product environment. This means setting direction and overseeing the implementation of features related to Economy, Progression and Social.

Responsibilities:

  • Direct long-term Direction for Progression, Economy, and Social related features in line with the game vision
  • Communicate vision, design, constraints, and concerns for your area
  • Enhance the collaborative process and structure within and outside the team
  • Contribute to the maintenance of an inclusive and creative working environment


Qualifications:

  • At least one shipped title in a design leadership role
  • At least one shipped multiplayer title as a designer working within any of the important responsibility areas (Progression, Economy, and Social)
  • 10+ years of experience leading complex product and team environments.
  • Live Service experience in a design leadership role
  • Several years of games industry experience


Additional Qualifications:

  • Experience shipping a game in a creative leadership role
