You will work closely with the entire Design Team designing, crafting, and implementing a robust suite of AI characters for use in an objective-based team game.

Most importantly, you will work with a fun, dedicated, and cross discipline team devoted to turning a creative dream into a new franchise at PlayStation.

Fluency for collaboration with designers, artists, programmers, audio professionals, quality assurance and producers to achieve a common goal, with adaptability for how to work in a flexible work environment
Broad T-shaped rapid prototyping skills, with strong technical scripting ability and enough multi-disciplinary knowledge to quickly stub out gameplay ideas to evaluate their potential
Strong understanding of combat animation; is experienced in discussing anticipation, follow through, character and timing, and their impact on game readability and balance
Proven ability to build alignment and productively own feature direction without sacrificing empathy and collaboration with team contributors
Ability to operate autonomously and handle ambiguity, including giving and receiving feedback despite that ambiguity
Understanding of PvP game design and balance, getting the challenge level right for a wide variety of situations
Understanding of how systemically consistent, combinatoric game design can create player surprise and laughter
Outstanding oral and written communication skills

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE

Experience as a Sandbox/Gameplay Designer on a multiplayer action game, designing, documenting, and building combat/character systems
Experience delegating work or ownership of an area to multi-disciplinary peers
Knowledge and perspective from playing competitive team games
